Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Sore Throat

Posted on Tue, 2 Sep 2014

Question: I have a bad sore throat. I got over strep about a week ago and now my throat is sore again. I got more antibiotics but today is the first day and they haven't kicked in yet...its sore all the way up into my mouth and even my ears. What can I do to relieve the pain enough to sleep? I've tried throat soothers, gargling with salt water, and tylonal...

Brief Answer:
Throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the pharyngitis with acute otitis media.

For proper antibiotics you may go for the throat swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity.
With antibiotic you may also take nasal and systematic nasal decongestant.
For pain relieve you may take analgesic and antiseptic mouthwash.
Avoid cold drinks, ice creams and cold water.

Thanks

Wish you good XXXXXXX
