HELLO,
i can understand your concern. frequent and indiscriminate usage of antibiotics do lead to resistance.
i would suggest you not to take any antibiotics on your own without the prescription of the doctor.
kindly get a culture sensitivity done before starting any antibiotics. this would help us determine the antibiotic which would be beneficial to you.
do salt water gargles with lukewarm water. this would be very much beneficial to you.
avoid cold water and ice creams.hope you are satisfied with our response.
thanks for choosing HCM
