Scratchy throat

2022-08-07 03:19:38
Hi, I had covid in the week of 18th July and have recovered fully except for scratchy throat. During covid, I had taken paracetamol 650 mg for multiple days and did a 5 day azythromycin course. Scratchy throat started a few days back. It is not consistent and happens once or twice a day. Spicy or sour foods or dry throat trigger it. I have been taking benedryl and strepsil which help to some extent. Please advise.
