Since your symptoms have lasted for two months, it is important to identify the underlying cause rather than just treating the pain. Recurring throat irritation is often caused by conditions like gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), environmental allergies, or chronic post-nasal drip. Depending on the diagnosis, long-term relief may involve generic medications like omeprazole (for acid reflux) or cetirizine and fluticasone nasal spray (for allergies). Simple habits like staying hydrated and warm salt-water gargles can also soothe the throat. I highly recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist to get a proper evaluation and a targeted, safe treatment plan.

What medicine should I take for a throat infection, cold, and fever?

For a cold, fever, and throat irritation, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms since most of these infections are viral. You can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help reduce your fever and ease body aches or throat pain. For cold symptoms, a saline nasal spray or over-the-counter decongestants can provide relief. Hydration, rest, and warm saltwater gargles are also highly effective. Please avoid taking antibiotics unless a doctor confirms a bacterial infection. If your fever persists for more than three days or you experience difficulty swallowing or breathing, please visit a doctor for a proper evaluation.
