Throat discomfort aftr 2-3 week viral
So, from jan 2 to jan 6 or 7. I had viral fever, and cough. I had constant 103 fever for 1-2 days.
During that period i was being treated for folliculitis as well, i was prescribed augmentin 625 for 5 days 2x a day.
So, for the viral, i showed it to a local doctor, he gave me energy drink to combat weakness, dolo 650 and asked to continue and finish the augmentin course and also, gave a cough syrup.
It's been 1-2 weeks post infection, cough is almost gone, i cough sometimes in a day with phlegm. Other symptoms are gone. But only thing that's lingering is while i come to sleep, or suring night time, when i swallow saliva, my tonsil area feel irritated or kind of dry like feeling. But during day its absolutely fine. What to do? I don't have acidity as well.
Attched an image. Adding to this, the bumps on my throat wall is there since many years, it's not happened recently, showed to ent they said you can ignore. Please help me for that weird throat dry like irritation at night!
