I have sore throat that may have started in/near left ear. I am completing my 2nd day. I have serious laryngitis. I DO NOT HAVE A FEVER. Temperature is normal. I have been taking Extra Strength Tylenol. 1000 in morning and 1000 in evening. I have some Clindamycin 300mg. Would this drug help fight this infection?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Drug of choice is Penicillin, if you allergic to it then you may take Clindamycine twice a day. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
