Suggest Medication For Sore Throat

Hi, I have a sore throat that I have been to a Doctor about. I was given a script for Antibiotics. I felt a bit better for a few days but I only had 5 days worth. I have a sore throat again that feels like I have something stuck in my throat. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore throat can be due to a number of cause like throat infection caused by bacteria or virus, post nasal drip, acid reflux, respiratory tract infection etc..
As you were treated with antibiotics and the symptoms recurred you need to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture, blood tests, Immunoglobulin G levels can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take antibiotics if there is bacterial infection while other medications if there is not bacterial infection can be given like anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day,do steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
Suck throat lozenges and avoid spicy and hard foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
