Suggest An Alternative Medicine For Sore Throat
My husband is overseas in Myanmar. He became ill with a sore throat and felt badly. He was given Amoxicillin. He does not seem to be improving. He feels weak and his legs are hurting. Is this a side affect of Amoxicillin?
He is sleeping a lot. He is worried about his lungs as he has asthma. He did not say he was having trouble breathing. I can only communicate with him by e-mail, and I am worried as to whether he has the right antibiotic for his problem.
Thanks you
Darlene

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your husband is having sore throat and he is on treatment with Amoxycillin antibiotic for the same.
Weakness and tiredness indicate a possible viral infection. This will improve with treatment and hence no need to be worried.
Hence I advice you to continue treatment as advised by his doctor.
Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.
With regards
