Brief Answer: You might need a course of antibiotics Detailed Answer: Hello Mr. XXXXXXX Thanks for posting your query. From your description, it looks like you are having sore throat. In such cases I would generally prescribe an antibiotic such as Azithromycin after checking the patient to confirm if there is infection. Apart from that you will feel relieved if you do the following. 1. Salt water gargling 4 to 6 times a day. 2. Steam inhalation 3 to 4 times a day. 3. You can take an OTC medicine like D-Cold total or Sinarest, three tablets per day for 3 days. You should consult yout local doctor for examination and prescription for the antibiotic. I hope this answers your query. All the best
