Will Z Pack Cure Throat Pain, Runny Nose And Headaches?

My throat started hurting last Thursday. I started a zpack that day and finished on the following Monday. I started feeling a little better Wednesday and this morning I woke up and my tonsils have white on them. Will the zpack still cure it? Ive also had runny nose and headaches.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that you have a viral infection with a secondary bacterial infection and the white spots are pus pockets as a result of bacteria infection..
You need not to worry as they will cure well with Z-Pak..
Take a five days course of Z-Pak again ..
Do warm saline gargles.
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily for 5 days
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Gargle using chlorhexidine mouthwash...

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
