Suggest Remedies For Low Fever And Sore Throat In Spite Of Taking Medication

Hi! I have had sore throat and light fever for 10 days now. I have taken antibiotics and paracetamol together with cough syrup. Even though I am feeling much better and expectorating phlegm from time to time, I still have mild fever and some sore throat. Does it take so long to heal? Thank you very much for your reply.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Most sore throats caused by a cold or flu-type virus go away in a week to 10 days.
If your sore throat continue an antibiotic cycle is needed. You will feel better in a few days.
It is important to take all of your antibiotics.
In this case,I suggest to see an ENT Specialist or your physician.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
