Allergic pharyngitis
I was diagnosed to have allergic pharyngitis by an ENT specialist after a blood test which reported a slightly higher number of absolute eosinophilic count (475cells/cmm). Then I was prescribed with two tablets
1. Trofil (1-0-1)
2. Emlukast fx (0-0-1)
I was told to take medicine for 15 days. But after 15 days I'm again facing throat pain (not so severe , but some kind of irritation). During the medication period I did not feel like having that irritation.
Before visiting the doctor I was frequently getting slight pain in the throat once/twice in 10days which could heal up by itself in a day(No fever, no tiredness). What I noticed was that I would get the symptom when I take spicy food or exposed to dusty environment.
During medication I did not get any symptom of throat pain but after medication I am facing it again. Kindly help me in relieving the cause.

When u notice u get symptoms when u exposed to dust or spicy food , than you should avoid that . Taking spicy food may cause acidity reflux problem , again the same will cause throat pain ..U know better than anyone what is allergic to you and what your body is not accepting . So taking antibiotics and antibiotics allergic medications alone is not enough . You should also know to avoid your allergen factors

First thing to do is to control your allergy with proper medicines. And for pharyngitis you’ll need a course of antibiotics.
