Question

I'm currently taking Augmentin 625 and Doxolin 400, but my throat infection is still not getting better. I started Montemac FX today and also began Atorvastatin for my high cholesterol. My chest is clear, though I've got this annoying cough. I'm using Betadine gargle, but I'm really looking for something to get fast relief for my throat. Any suggestions on what I can do?

I see that you are already taking Augmentin 625 for the infection, Doxolin 400 for the cough, Montemac FX for the throat infection, and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Since you are still experiencing throat infection and cough, I recommend adding an over-the-counter antitussive such as Benadryl Cough Syrup to help with the cough. Additionally, you can try steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil to help soothe your throat. Make sure to continue with the Betadine gargle as prescribed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.
