Throat ache
I am having pain in my throat while swallowing food. Even while drinking water. I took ginger n honey with hot water past two days in the night. But it seems its not helping. It hurts when i apply pressure physically on my throat. Feels like inflammation after drinking water. Also, ive been dry coughing and it gets worse in the night. Only after i lay my head at a height or drink something does it eases. What should i do?
