Lozenges + pain meds: You sound like you might have a sore throat. There are many causes: irritation from cough, post nasal drip from allergies or a cold, bacterial infection like strep throat or a viral infection like mono/ epstein barr virus. You can try pain medication, lozenges, throat sprays, hot tea for comfort but if your symptoms continue for another 2-3 days, you should see our doctor to be evaluated further.
