Brief Answer:
Steam

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please take tab augmentin 625 mg 12 hours apart means two times a day.

Take tab zerodol sp.

You may take tab paracetamol for fever.
Take tab B complex.
Add steam inhalation.
Take syrup XXXXXXX.
And if no effect with XXXXXXX you can start syrup Honitus.

Saline gargles will give a soothing effect.

Please bear in mind that any sore throat takes 3 or 4 days to recover fully.

I hope I have solved your problem.
