Sore Throat and Cough
I am facing sore throat ( scratchy feeling) from 20th May 2020. Following home remedies like having turmeric milk, honey, jaggery, tulsi tea and taken various immunity boosters by patanjali like Giloyi Amla. Doing saline water gargles also. Having warm water for normal drinking too.
I had taken steam also.
Infact the dry cough is also there. Though frequency is less.
I am concerned with current global situation and need right guidance for antibiotic and dry cough syrup.

Don't worry. You will be fine. Sudden change in weather and increase in heat has led to air becoming dry and this leads to dryness. Just take frequent sips of water, suck on a lozenge few times in a day, stay indoors and switch on the AC.
Next Steps
Relax, stay indoors and use AC. Frequent sips and suck on lozenge few times in a day
Health Tips
In case of any unusual symptom, like high fever or severe headache, rush to nearest hospital.
