Suggest Treatment For Throat Infection
Question: prescription for throat infection
Brief Answer:
Taking right medications but adult dosage of Tab.cefuroxime is 500mg.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question, attachments of symptoms and prescription.
I understand your concerns. I would like to ask you few more details.
Is there any associated difficulty in swallowing or cough?
Kindly get back to me with details.
As per your clinical details, most likely cause could be acute pharyngitis.
As such you are taking right medications, the dosage for tab.cefuroxime should be 500mg twice daily ( it's a adult dose, works in throat infections). Is there any reason why your doctor has prescribed you Cefuroxime 250mg? In case of mixed infections, it takes time to resolve. Have faith on your treating doctor.
Meantime, do salt water gargling and avoid consuming refrigerated and chilled products (curd/ice creams).
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
