Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sore throat and flu. These symptoms are because of infection and you require to use antibiotics and antiinflammatory, decongestant drugs.
You can continue wikoryl tab containing analgesic and antipyretic in the form of paracetamol and decongestant drug in the form of phenyli ephrine hydrochloride.

Along with this you require to take antibiotic drug for control of infection in cases of bacterial infections and to prevent secondary bacterial infections in case of viral infection.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.

Thank you
