Many a times when I eat curd or buttermilk, I get throat infection even if I keep the curd out of fridge for sometime before consuming. Then I feel feverish, body pain, etc. It generally lasts for 4-5 days (the doctor gives his own medicines & sometimes antibiotic & also injection for weakness), followed by weakness for another week. Thus I avoid curd, buttermilk. Also I get throat infection followed by fever many times in a year, especially rainy season. What is the reason & what to do immediately when I feel i'm contracting throat infection. As i'm an office goer & falling ill frequently disturbs my schedule & creates anxiety.

1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term consult online with details.
