Irritation in throat
I was a regular smoker. Once I was feeling fever and sore throat around 2 months back. I took paracetamol 1000 mg and got recovered from the fever but the irritation in the throat is not yet gone. Whenever i shout or whisper, i feel the discomfort. I left smoking since last one month but the problem still persists
