I'm 21 years male. I had a sore throat 2 weeks back and went to doctor but did not say much about it, just give antibiotics for 2 days. After 1 week the sore throat cured. Again im having this throat sore again but it is not severe, I tried salt water gargling, betadine gargling. I feel relief sometime but it comes again. But it is mild, do not trouble eating. Only feels when I swallow with pressure. It is on the same side, the right side mouth around tonsils. Should I be worried? I do not have any other problems by the way. Should I consult immediately?

Dear Lybrateuser, - have more of warm fluids including water, tea, coffee, soup, avoid all cold fluids and refrigerated foods - do warm salt water gargles three times a day - mix a tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm water & have it on rising in the morning - take throat lozenges three times a day - avoid fried, spicy, sour & junk foods - take pain relief tablet after meals if you have pain on swallowing - get checked by a local doctor if not much improvement in 2-3 days.
