Hi,
The medicines prescribed by your doctor is fine. Ancer is given for a cough and cold. You can either take Montek-LC or Ancer, not both. Both medications are antihistamines and if taken together will cause severe drowsiness.
Take a course of probiotics like Vizylac (Lactobacilli) to protect against the side effects of the antibiotics.
Drink warm fluids at regular intervals. Warm saline gargles will also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
