Brief Answer:
Betadine Gargling.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query.
The sore throat could be due to acute pharyngitis.
I treat such patients in my practice with following guidelines:
1) Betadine throat gargling: Mix 1 part of Betadine solution with 2 portion of warm water and gargle for two times a day.
2) You can take Tab: Combiflam or Sumoflam 1 tablet twice a day for 3 days.
If still the symptoms persists then you should be put on an antibiotic. Usually i prescribe Amoxclav 625mg. This needs a prescription.
Any further query do follow up.
Take care.
