I have had a sore throat and cough for 3 days?

20-year-old woman2 years ago
I have had a sore throat for 3 days. Mild in the morning which doesn't bother me too much during the day I cough sometimes. But in the evening the pain in my throat and down my esophagus is much more intense and uncomfortable. When I take a deep breath I start to cough. Breathing shorter. I wonder if I should consult. If it is something more serious than a sore throat. Bronchitis, pneumonia?

Hello,
In order to better understand your needs, would it be possible to know if you have tried anything for this, and if you take other medications generally?
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!
You are doing well by moisturizing and using lozenges. Advil Sinus is OK if you have nasal congestion, otherwise simple Advil is sufficient for the throat
Keep it up, if it persists for more than a week or gets worse, you'll need to see a doctor.
Sincerely
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
