Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Irritating and itching throat with left tonsillar enlargement is sore throat and not every sore throat is bacterial. I believe augmentin was unnecessary addition but there is no harm in taking that as your doctor might be considering some bacterial cause. Mostly however it is viral and self resolves and does not need antibiotics.
Regarding the persistence of irritation and scratchy feeling, the reason for that is insufficient management. Medicines alone are never sufficient.
- Give your voice a rest,
-Sleep plenty at least 8 hours a day.
- Take plenty of fluids and try comforting fluids like hot warm beverages as herbal tea etc. I advise mixing honey in herbal tea and drinking. It helps the itchiness and irritation.
-Gargle salt water. 5 gram of salt is one teaspoonful. Mix that in 8 ounces / one glass of warm water and gargle the throat every 4 hours.
-Garlic water gargles with aspirin in it also help a lot.
-Humidify the air as dry air is the commonest cause for irritant throat.
-Take throat lozenges , they help .
-Continue the medicines naproxene and wait and see.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
