Hello,
Sore throat may be due to viralor bacterial or allergic in origin. It is treated with Amoxicillin with clavulinic acid 625 mg twice a day for five days. Use tab. levocetrizine in case of cold.
avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day. For temporal lobe epilepsy we have to rule out any intracranial pathology by MRI brain.
Use tab. levetricetam 500 twice a day under your neurophysician advice. Avoid driving and high risk activities. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
