Suggest Medication For Sore Throat
I have a very sore throat right at my adam's apple when I swallow. Have had a bad cold or sinus infection for
about 5-6 days. The sore adam's apple started about two days ago. Am taking Claritan D and Amoxicillin
clavulanate for few days but the sore adams apple hasn't gone away or lessened. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat along with bad cold and sinus infection which is leading to infection of upper respiratory tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating spicy and heavy food. Do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should take combination of levocetirizine along with amoxicillin for 3-5 days. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should go for blood and sputum test. Azithromycin 500 mg is right medication, you should take it along with anti inflammatory drug to avoid further exaggeration. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime will be helpful for you. You should take ginger ,lemon juice and honey to soothe your throat. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Maintain hygiene rinsing with antimicrobial mouthwash.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
