How Can Bronchitis And Sore Throat Be Treated?

I was diagnosed with Bronchitis about 3 weeks ago. lost my voice for almost 2 weeks. Thought I was recovering, but then I felt like I was getting another cold on top of it. Now my throat has been sore for about a week. I am also still coughing. Could this be strep or something else? Should I go back to the Dr. for this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have been diagnosed with bronchitis, then you need to be put on antibiotic therapy. Since you also have a sore throat, you should get a throat culture done.

Penicillin group of antibiotics work well on upper respiratory tract infections. You have to get yourself checked by a physician as these are prescription drugs.

Meanwhile, you should do betadine gargles and steam inhalation to relieve a sore throat.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.Amman
