Only thing that I did is increased water intake to 2 liters daily from .75 L daily. My belly size also reduced by 40%.

Continusely redness on backside of throa

Hello Doctor. From the past 1 and half months, the back of my throat has been constantly red. My throat feels dry and I also feel little pain. Recently I have noticed white and little peeled skin under my lower lip.I have taken medicines in which antibiotics, pain reliever and steroids was added. But kush fark nahi dikh raha.  I don't drink alcohol and have never used any other kind of intoxicant. I have taken the 4 ARV shots in Jan due to little puppy bite me in the foots toe, Although there was no skin tear or wound, I just felt a little pain, so I got it applied as a precaution. After some time I had a cold, the cough and cold got cured but this throat problem has persisted since then. Pls guide me and suggest the correct medicine.
