Throat infection
Hi doctor. Thanks for reading my question and giving suggestions.
Recently I got treatment for tooth decay. After that I got throat infection as declared by doctor (general physician). Even dentist informed me it's because of cold. For throat infection I took clav-625, flexinac for 5 days. I don't have cold, cough, fever or breathing issue. Even I don't have travel history or I don't even contact any person who have travel history.
Till now I am feeling the same means something stuck in my throat. No irritation or itching and I don't have pain in swallowing. I have neck pain. Sometimes I feel upper chest heaviness. After throat infection I am at home completely. Due to lockdown situation I am not able to out. Is this Tonsillitis. Please guide and suggest any good medicine. Thanks a lot.

It probably is throat congestion due to mild infection or seasonal allergy
Next Steps
Start Betadine gargles (10 ml gargle solution diluted with 10 ml of water) twice a day for 3 days

You have already finished a course of clav 625. Also you say you do not have any fever, throat pain, cold and cough. So infection is less likely.
Your main problem seems to be something stuck in your throat and occasional heaviness in chest . This is more likely due to acid reflux.
Next Steps
Start with lifestyle changes, like timely food and less oily and spicy food. Antacids will help. Also work of your hydration.
If symptoms are persisting, please consult.
