What to do for excessive body heat and sensitive throat with viral symptoms? - #53736

This is mainly pitta aggravation with throat sensitivity and recurrent irritation. That’s why citrus, cold, and sour foods are triggering throat inflammation and viral-like symptoms. First focus on cooling and soothing the system. Avoid completely: Spicy, sour (lemon, curd), fried, and cold foods Cold drinks, ice creams, and late-night eating Prefer: Warm, simple, mildly spiced food Plenty of room-temperature or slightly warm water At home: Gargle with warm water + a pinch of turmeric and salt Take 1 tsp honey with a pinch of turmeric for throat soothing Coriander seed water (soaked overnight) helps reduce body heat Sutshekhar Ras – 1 tablet twice daily after food Kamdudha Ras – 1 tablet twice daily Sitopaladi churna – ½ teaspoon with honey twice daily This will help reduce internal heat, throat sensitivity, and prevent frequent flare-ups. Follow regularly and avoid triggers strictly for good results. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

Considering all your symptoms together — excessive body heat, throat irritation after citrus/curd/cold items, redness and swelling of throat, painful swallowing, low energy during episodes, and digestive disturbance — the most likely single Ayurvedic diagnosis is: Urdhwaga Amlapitta (Upward-moving aggravated Pitta with throat involvement) This means aggravated Pitta dosha with acidic/reactive digestive disturbance moving upward toward the throat region. Internal Medicines 1) Avipattikar Churna 3 grams at bedtime with lukewarm water 2) Kamdudha Ras 1 tablet twice daily after food 3) Yashtimadhu Churna 2 grams twice daily with honey 4) Guduchi Satva 500 mg twice daily Diet ✔ Warm bland food ✔ Ghee in small quantity ✔ Coconut water if suits ✔ Moong khichdi ✔ Sweet fruits (non-citrus) 👉 If you want proper correction (not temporary relief), you can book a consultation—I’ll design a structured plan for you
