If the condition is caused by chronic pharyngitis or tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory antibiotics may be taken under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used medications include cefixime and cefradine. If the cause is a foreign object in the throat, prompt medical attention is necessary to have the object safely removed with the help of a physician, which usually effectively relieves symptoms.
