General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
Please don't take the infection lightly. I feel the antibiotic taken is not effective or not in sufficient dose. Control of throat infection with high fever must be treated by adequate antibiotic these days and if no relief exclusion of COVID is essential. Sorry, antibiotic needs to be decided after examining you and judge severity and type of infection, prescribing antibiotic without examination is not right. Please consult an ENT specialist earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
