Cold symptoms or something else

[chaleaa1]

4 days ago I started having a sore throat and  burning eyes. I have now the burning eyes, severe sore throat, body aches, slight nasal congestion. I am not coughing nor am I sneezing & no runny nose. I an breathe freely through my nose. Everytime i swallow my throat hurts so bad i do not want to even swallow my saliva. I am taking an otc sinus med but it does not seem to be doing any good. what do you suggest I do to get some relief?

Hi,
It is possible that you are suffering from a throat infection which can be viral or bacterial in nature.Take some over the counter medications like chlorpheniramine or cetrizine for symptomatic relief. Drink plenty of water and fluids. Steam inhalation may provide some relief. If it is a bacterial infection antibiotics may be helpful.If the symptoms are severe or persistent a clinical examination may be necessary. It is suggested to discuss your concerns with your attending ENT specialist .I sincerely hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
