Hi,

Yes, amoxiclav is a good idea for an infection acquired in a non-hospital setting. Usually, there is bacterial infection after viral infection and is called superadded infection. That's why antibiotic is given. Other drugs mentioned by you are also routinely added. No problem, you can go ahead with drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
