Suggest Treatment For Mild Cough And Sore Throat

So this started as a mild cough and a bit of fever about a week ago.. after a couple of advils the fever went away and never returned. now my throat and cough are getting worse every day. mucous is building up in my throat and nose. I had very sharp pain in my ear a few days ago while laying on it too. a sore throat appeared on the corner of my lips about 3 days ago, and today I woke up to discover that my eyes are red and stuck together (cold symptoms + pink eye?) I ve been taking advil and robotussin in pill form everyday, but nothing seems to help. I get a couple of hours where the cough goes away every day.. but other than that, it s been constant. what do you think?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a respiratory tract infection.
Based on the information provided in the query you may need a cycle of antibiotics to treat the infection.
I recommend using Augmentin 625 mg twice a day for a week.
I also recommend to drink liquids and rest.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
