Hello,
You may take inj TT for needle injury. Present complaints may be due to viral flu with pharyngitis with diarrhoea. Use sporulac sachets for three days. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625mg for five days. Drink plenty of water. Do salt water gargling thrice a day. If symptoms have not improved, please consult with your ENT specialist/physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
