I have a sore throat problem

Question

Dear lybrate user, for the fever you could take a tablet of paracetamol 500 mg 3 times a day after meals. For the sore throat and cold, do warm salt water gargles 3-4 times a day, you could also take some benadryl for relief of dry cough, do steam inhalation 3-4 times a day (10 min session each). You may also take some over the counter decongestant tablets for cold but remember not to take the above mentioned paracetamol then as these preparations usually contain paracetamol. In case you do not feel better in another 2 days please seek doctor for specific treatment. Get well soon!
