Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Tiredness

Hi, I saw a doctor 6 days ago with a sore throat, tiredness and generally feeling unwell. I was given antibiotics and nothing has changed. My throat is better in the mornings and gets worst as the day goes on. I am drinking 3ltrs of water a day and eating healthy and I m not getting any better, what should I do?

Hi,

You can take medicines to relieve the pain of a sore throat, or to treat the underlying cause. Over-the-counter medications that relieve throat pain include:

acetaminophen (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Aspirin. Don’t give aspirin to children and teenagers, as it’s been linked to a rare but serious condition called Reye’s syndrome.

You can also use one or more of these treatments, which work directly on the pain of a sore throat:

a sore throat spray that contains a numbing antiseptic like phenol, or a cooling ingredient like menthol or eucalyptus, throat lozenges, cough syrup.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
