Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
Hi, I am an 18 year old female. I have been sick all weekend but just yesterday started having an unbearable sore throat, I am in misery. I have tried every over the counter medicine, home remedy and tea that is out there. Nothing works. I went to my doctor today and she said it s not strep, but my throat looks like a hamburger. She gave antibiotic but I m still in so much pain. I ve taken every pain pill. Please help I don t know what to do. I can t talk clearly or breath all that well either.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having acute upper respiratory tract infection.
Continue with antibiotic as antibiotic takes some time to work.
Take decongestant, analgesic medicine for 2-3 days.
Do antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
