Strep Throat, Slight Tonsillitis. Remedy?
hi i get sore throats often, what should i do?
i have kept a record since july the 10th and since then i have had a bad ish sore throat around 25 times. i dont think this is normal.
I have had strep throat once in april and slight tonsilitis in july other than this they have just been random sore throats and the pain is usualy around 5/10, (10 being worst ever) however the lowest i recorded was about a 3 as i thought they werent that bad.
what do u think i should do?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It could be some allergic reaction, If I would be your doctor then I would advise you for taking second generation anti
histamine along with short course of antibiotic for six days if it does not solved the problem then I would ask for ENT opinion
1> second generation antihistamine " Levocetrizine just one tab. a day.
2> Antibiotic " Levofolxacine 500 mg twice a day for six days. try this salt water gargling is also nice for soar throat try it have nice day
