Scratchy throat from 15 days
Dear doctors,
I have a persistent scratchy throat from past 15 days. I have to clear my throat often and feel presence of some amount of mucus.
I don't have fever, pain while swallowing, shortness of breathe but occasionally I feel heaviness in the stomach and belching. As we are into pandemic, do I need to worry about it.
Please advice me
Thanks in advance.

If you have any nose block or sneezing, you may need a course of medicine
Otherwise just warm saline gargle will help

Nothing to be worried about based on the information you gave here. Looks like an acid reflux issue.
Please follow a healthy lifestyle which includes timely meals and less oily an spicy food. Antacids will be helpful.
