Suggest Medication To Replace Zpack For Allergies

I went to a Redi Clinic and they diagnosed me with sever allergies. I had to call them back in a week and get an antibiotic. The day after taking the last of my Zpack I was in pain again. I now have an ear drop and that does not seem to be working either. I don t know what to do. I can t stand this pain. My throat hurts on the side of the infection too.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms of throat pain persisting after taking Zpack is suggestive of viral infection. Zpack is an antibiotic, fighting bacterial infection, but unfortunately not fighting viral infection.

You can go back to the clinic and get another visit to check your throat again.

To speed up recovery:
- gargle with warm water and salt
- keep icy cubes in the mouth
- oral antiseptic spray can help
- take anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen, or paracetamol
- drink plenty of fluids (water, tea, etc).

Wish fast recovery.
