Need antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
XXXX,

Thanks for posting the query,

Your symptoms look like you are suffering from throat infection. I treat such patients in my practice with Amox clav for 5 days.

Before taking this medicine i suggest you to get your throat examined and then get the antibiotic prescribed.

Mean while you can continue all other home remedies.

take care.
