Question: Hi am a 23 yrs old lady i have been having itchy throat since the harmattan started weeks later i woke up to a sore throat with swollen tonsils and white spots on it What could be the cause of this and ways to treat this
Answer: Hi with this kind of weather comes different types of infection of the throat and other parts of the upper respiratory tract in a lot of cases these infections are viral and will clear out on their own within a week or two however they are quite uncomfortable to deal with 
My advice 
Drink lots of water 2 Vitamin C tablets three times a day you will also benefit from the use of Tab Piriton 2 at night for the next 4  5 days because of the pain any painkiller like Diclofenac will help be sure you dont have Ulcer before you use it Hopefully it doesnt get superinfected and you need antibiotics but right now its not needed I believe the advice above will be effective Take care
