HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P Thanks for posting your query.
It seems like you are having combined Throat infection and gut infection . You need an antibiotic ( as it seems like a bacterial infection ). I am afraid you may not get an Antibiotic otc.
So my recommendation is consult any local doctor and ask for Levofloxacin prescription and use it . Along with that use expectorants like Tus Q X Syrup.
Apart from this do salt water gargling , drink plenty of water , avoid oily food and non veg food .
Hope this information is useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask.
