Suggest Treatment For A Dry Spot Appearing On The Throat
I m taking amoxicillin 500mg capsule twice a day and benzonatate 200 mg three times a day for acute sinusitis that was diagnosed three days ago. Today I ve started having a dry spot on the left side of my throat that, not only has me coughing very hard, but gagging as well. It seems that I won t be able to stop the gagging and it scares me. I ve been drinking water regularly, but that didn t help. I ate some watermelon and that eased the dryness. What can I do to make this go away??
It takes 3-4 days to observe improvement IF general care is also done. I would suggest you following things: > Complete dose of antibiotic > Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect. > Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough.
AVOID: > Chilled water > Drinks > Spicy food
