Brief Answer:
Roxid is little less effective.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Roxid is little less effective, these days.You can try either azithromycin or augmentin, if symptoms are not reducing.If you are in middle of roxid dose, then continue it.

Try few more things like- warm water gargles, steam inhalations, strepsils . cover your nose/mouth with cloth mask while travelling, dont let your throat get dry, avoid or reduce AC usages while travelling , try kantha sudharak vati during travelling (check 2-3 pharmacy) and hot soups.Sleep more than usual, this will help you recover.

Hope this helps.Regards.
