Hi,

As you are already on treatment you must continue with it. Anti-hypertensive medicines are to be taken always as prescribed and should not be stopped without physician's opinion. If you have started antibiotic it should be continued for determined days. You can take a combination of drug, that has antihistamine and Montelukast as contents, for allergy and itching in throat as that can help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
