Your symptoms are suggestive of Tonsillopharyngitis. How much is the fever..? You could get a Covid test done in case there are other members of the family who fall in high risk category. If you’re Covid Negative,
Start. 1. Tab Ceftum 500mg twice a day for 5 days,
2. Tab Dolo 650 mg Twice a day or sos for 5 days
3. Tab Rabeprazole 40mg once day(empty stomach) for 7 days
4. Dispirin gargles( 1 tab Dispirin in 1/2 glass warm water) thrice a day.
Don’t stop eating. Have Semi-solid or soft diet but nutrition is very important.
Drink plenty of fluids(water/soup/juices) to keep yourself hydrated.
