Granular Pharyngitis

2022-08-29 02:40:43
Hi, About 22 days back - I suddenly started having pain while swallowing. Apparently, I showed it to a doctor that time and she said it's tonsillitis. That extreme pain disappeared in about a weeks time after I took augmentin 625. I stay with a partner who also got Covid positive in this duration - to which I'm assuming I was also Covid positive. Post this, I still continue to to have very mild sore throat. This pain goes away with a Crocin/dolo. Sometimes it's on the right side sometimes on the left, on showing it to a doctor she said it's a type of chronic inflammation due to acidity and has given me medication. I definitely feel better after taking the antacid but the granular pharyngitis doesn't seem to disappear. Need a fix here. The internet only seems to put me in more worry and scare me

A permanent fix for the problem of Granular Pharyngitis due to Reflux disease is a lifestyle modification. Antacids and PPIs can curb the increased acid production however few lifestyle changes will help you a long way 1. Drink 3-4 sips of water every hourly. 2. Reduce Caffeine intake to 1 cup of tea/coffee and preferably during the daytime 3. Avoid Fried/spicy and junk food until absolutely unavoidable. 4. Go for a walk once or twice a day. 5. Keep a gap of at least an hour or two between dinner and bedtime. 6. Avoid Smoking/Alcohol In case of isolated throat pain (not associated with fever) stick to warm saline gargles or Dispirin gargles (1 tablet Dispirin in 1/2 glass warm water) instead of chemical based gargles.
