Severe Throat Pain, Fever, Took Meds, No Help. What Shall I Do?

got pharyngytis two weeks ago with fever and severe throat pain, took Omnix 200 and ibuprofen for 3 days, then took omnix for 2 more days. gargled with Tantum solution for 4-5 days. After 2 days of stopping these medicines again got severe throat pain so visited an ENT specialist , he gave me painkillers and antibiotic-Flemikox for 5 days and asked to do gargling and take steam. I took it for 4 days and the throat pain came down due to painkillers, but the throat still felt filled with cough and when swallowing i felt discomfort every time. 2 days later, i.e. last evening again severe throat pain on one side of throat has started and I cannot swallow anything, my bodyache has started and I might get a fever in few hours. I have been drinking hot turmeric milk, and hot water, and doing salt water gargling.

hi... thanks for using HCM..
you have had pharyngitis, and took treatment with antibiotics, but it is recurring..
you need to get certain investigations, by taking the throat swab, culture and sensitivity..see your ENT surgeon for this..
based on the report you need to put on antibiotics, analgesics..
continue salt water gargling, try to use clean purified water for drinking..
all the very best..
