Some headaches . Voice is affected. In pain. Please help. Thank you
Hi , in my opinion you have severe throat infection. Penicillin is the drug of choice but when oral tablets are not working which means infection is more. So you need intravenous antibiotics. If I were your treating doctor I would have asked for a throat swab for culture and sensitivity. Routine blood counts to see the level of infection. Depending on the reports I would havd decided the antibiotics to be given. Along with this anti inflammatory drugs, beta dine gargle is also advised.
