Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough And Pain
Brief Answer:
Try gargles
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
It looks like you have pharyngitis. Most often it is self limiting and resolves by itself without taking any anitbiotic.
I would suggest the following-
- Gargle your throat three times daily with salt water
- Syp Ascoril-D 2 - 3 times a day will help with the cough. It should be taken only when cough is present.
- I would prescribe Tab Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid three times daily, rather than azithral. But your condition doesn't really need any antibiotic.
Hope it helps.
