Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
Throat infection is due to the nasal congestion and post nasal dripping.
Take cefixime 200 twice daily
tablet levocetrizine plus phenylepherine combination twice daily
xylometazoline nasal drops three times a day
steam inhalation
Use hexidine gargles.
Take all for 5 days.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available at prescription only.
Take care
Thanks and regards
