Hello doctor,Is there any medicine to reduce throat tightness? I am suffering from the last four days. It seems like something is tied around my neck. I do not sense it when I am lying down. But, once I am up, I can again feel this tightness. Attached are my reports. I was suffering from a cough and cold when I was traveling where I had taken over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol, Advil, and Benadryl for temporary relief. I got back home last week with a cough for which I visited a doctor and he gave me meds like Switch CV 325, Odimont LC and Mucovisc which I took for six days. Now, from the last four days, I am feeling a tightness in my neck area. I have done all the said tests, and everything came normal. I am not sure what is causing this. Can you advise any meds for fast relief?
Hello. For complaints of tightness in the neck area, ensure you rule out thyroid disorders. Regarding cough and cold since your return, I suggest you start tablet Amoxyclav 625 mg (a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice a day for five days, tablet Mucinex (Guaifenesin) once daily for seven days and syrup Sucralfate twice daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Do saltwater gargling every day.
