When will I recover from sore throat?

Q: I seem to have developed a sore throat, which I believe is due to my work as a sales agent. I talk loudly and as clearly as possible. I have been to a pharmacist and doctor, and have been taking antibiotics and throat sprays. There has also been a change in temperature here and many people are getting sore throats, flu, etc. When will my throat recover fully? It is important for me to earn a living for my family and future.

A:I think you should go in for some hygiene regarding throat:

1. Drink plenty of water
2. Gargle with plain water daily
3. Avoid irritants like spices, oil cooked snacks, cheese etc
4. Avoid colas and other coloured drinks
5. Avoid taking medications without the advice of the doctors
6. Avoid extreme change of temperature.
