Excessive soreness in throat
I started feeling flu symptoms on Friday morning.
With high temperature, headache, body pain. While the other subsided after taking meds till Sunday, I now have prickly throat.
Even eating rice is difficult. Am surviving on soups n boiled/mashed things since Monday.
And the bodyache has returned too.
Last night I puked a little and realised there are few bumps/lumps in the begining of tongue (towards the throat)
Even lozenges can provide very little comfort

Don’t worry. Start 1. Dispirin gargles( 1 tab Dispirin in 1/2 glass Lukewarm water) 2-3 times a day. For 10 days
2. Tab Pantocid DSR 1 tab in the morning in empty stomach for 7 days.
3. Tab Montair LC once at bedtime for 3 days.
