Having Headache, Sore Throat, Stuffy And Runny Nose. Examined Throat, Showed Small Blisters With Swollen Paritol Gland.

Thank you for your query.
1. Your symptoms are consistent with a severe Upper viral infection with a secondary bacterial infection.
2. I would recommend that instead of plain amoxicillin (ideally thrice a day) you may take a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (such as Augmentin) twice a day. If you develop a rash, it may be Infectious Mononucleosis (Glandular Fever).
3. Request your physician to start supportive medication such as pain killers, anti- allergic, decongestant and mucolytic medications. Regular steam inhalation will help. The phlegm may be due to sinusitis. Take adequate rest and maintain good hydration. Your doctor may also order a throat swab and blood tests if the symptoms worsen or do not subside soon.
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
