Answer 1

I don;t understand your medical system What the hell is a doctor for? Just collecting a fee for a 5 minute session?

If you have that much pain and discomfort and your throat is constricted you are in need of urgent care. Without an examination it is flying blind. But the severity of your explanation leaves me speechless of what my profession has become.

You may have infected sinuses and the sore throat is a result of a post nasal sinus dripping infected matter down the back of the throat. This affects the tonsils and the mucus membranes and makes them raw and tender, hence the pain on swallowing. The voice box also becomes inflames and swollen and so speaking is difficult. The big risk is total closure and respiratory distress or even Quinsy.

For immediate relief I will suggest steam inhalations, if you have some eucalyptus oil add a few drops to the hot water ( not too much as its potent) place a towel over your head and inhale a few times to open up both your throat and nasal passages.

Take some aspirin as well to help you to reduce the pain and swelling. You can dissolve this in honey and slowly let it trickle down your throat. See how that is in the next 24 hours ( 4 hrly inhalations and aspirin) Then if its any worse get to the ER for better treatment than your doctors have offered.

Braggs apple cider vinegar is available in a health food store and is an indispensable item to have on hand for sore throats. Gargle with it full strenght and then spit it out. then gargle again with a small amount and swallow it. Do this at the first sign of a sore throat and then every 2-3 hours . This really works, try it and see!

Answer 3

First, I must say that there are many types of colds. You have a really bad one. Please don't think I'm cold hearted when I say that you will get over it.
I remember one time that I had botten a very sore throat; the next day, I couldn't speak a word. Something like that had or has ever happened in my life.
It will pass. It was just a very bad cold. But however, if you smoke or have people around you that smoke; get away from it.
This could make your problem turn into bronchitis.

Answer 4

No one here is qualified to give you an answer. Even if there is a doctor here, they would be morally, ethically and probably also legally unable to give you any type of an answer without first examining you and even that would only occur after taking your history.

Borrow money if you have to and go to a walk in clinic or an ER. There are also teaching hospitals, in which you will not have to pay as much but will be examined and treated by residents, under the supervision of attending physicians. Insist on finding answers. And if necessary, remind your doctors of the saying that when a doctor hears hoof beats, s/he should be thinking horses not zebras, and your horses have pretty much been accounted for. Don't worry about what it means, because your doctors will know.

Answer 5

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Answer 6

Could be a viral infection or problems with your tonsils? Use some chloraseptic spray (drug store), drink lots and lots of fluids and rest. If you're not ANY better in about 2 days I would go back to a different doctor. I hope you feel better, good luck!

Answer 7

Lot's of liquids, plenty of rest, 600 mg of Ibuprofen (3 tablets of the kind you get over the counter) for the pain. Sounds like you might have a good cold, Also try vitamin c drops and if you take vitamin c, double what you take. Good luck hope you feel better soon.

Also try hot tea with honey . and to gargle, try warm water, vinger.

Answer 8

It's just a cold...drink a lot of water and liquids..believe this is usefull...drink a lot of orange juice that has vitamin c and when I get colds I don't usually take any medicines, just let it pass. Also try not to stand in cold areas...protect yourself a lot from rain and getting wet. For your voice...honey and lemons are good! I hope you feel better!

Answer 9

You have a viral infection. Continue to gargle with salted water, and drink plenty of fluids. It will pass. Take a Panadol for pain relief.
