Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain While Swallowing And Strep Throat
I have been on amoxicillin for 6 out of the 10 prescribed days so far. I was prescribed as it seemed I may have had strep throat but it was an early catch. After six days my throat still is very painful to swallow anything at all; should I be worried?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate concern, throat symptom mostly due to allergic condition and this may not need any antibiotic but this can be well managed with antihistamine alone and best drug would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg" three times in day, try some steam inhalation, throat lozenges would be fine for soothing effect, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice a day.
