Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat

I have a sore throat for a weeks now. It just came back after i finished my coamox therapy for a week with a anti histamine medicine (citirizine). I got a checkup and said i only need vitamins to recover. But i feel like im going to be sick again. Is there anything that needs to be done? I dont have fever. Im now taking vitamin c and gargling bactidol daily

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems like you are suffering from Pharyngitis that is infection and inflammation in throat and can be either bacterial or viral in nature..
In case if you have finished the course of antibiotic for a week you do not need it any more and you can do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
You can suck throat lozenges and chew Vitamin C pellets..
You can also sip on warm water throughout the day..
You can also take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relieving sore throat..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
In case if you do not get improved consult an Otolaryngologist and he can advise you throat swab culture to rule out the exact cause of the infection and treat you accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
