Suggest Treatment For Left-sided Ulcer On Palate

I have a puss-filled ulcer on only the left side of my soft palette. I tested positive for strep and was prescribed 875 mg of amoxicillin, which i have taken twice a day for the past 4 days. However, my condition has not improved at all. What else could this be?

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you may have resistance to Penicillin group of antibiotics and Augmentin contains main ingredient Amoxicillin which is a Penicillin group of antibiotic..
You need not to worry and can take Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 5 days for relief..
For pain relief anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen can be taken thrice a day..
For excessive Inflammation Medrol which is a steroid has to be taken twice a day..
Chewable Vitamin C candies will relieve..
Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day..
Gargle with Chlorohexidine mixed with water can help..
Steam inhalations will help..
Use a cool mist humidifier at home..
Avoid hot and spicy food to avoid irritation to throat.
Speak less and low pitched to avoid Stress over throat..
Drink plenty of water and take sufficient rest..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards..
