Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problems you are experiencing symptoms is related to upper respiratory tract in the form of laryngitis. Also heartburn symptom indicates that you could have gastric irritation as well.
To overcome this, kindly do the following along with intake of prescribed course of antibiotics.
1. Take steam inhalation regularly to liquefy mucous and promote its smooth movement.
2. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
3. Take mucolytic-decongestant syrup containing Ambroxol/Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.
4. Take a course of Tablet containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
5. Take Tablet. Pantoprazole on empty stomach in the morning to overcome heart burn problem.
Strictly avoid intake of clod items like cool drinks and ice creams.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
