What Is The Cure For Bladder Infection And Sore Throat?
Hi, I have red palatopharyngeal arches, a sore throat and what appears to be a bladder infection (urgent urination, little bit of pain). I went to the doctor for the infection and used Macrobid for 3 days. It did not go away. I did not ask about the sore throat

Hello!
In my clinic, in such cases, I advise urine culture & sensitivity, then start appropriate antibiotic.
Till reports come, I prescribe empirical antibiotic.
Also, I always check blood sugar level to look for diabetes.
For sore throat i.e. upper respiratory tract infection, Azithromycin is the drug of preferance.
You may discuss with your doctor for the dose & duration.
