Question 1

I've been having a rough time with a throat infection for the last four days after eating some oily food. I don't have a cold or cough, but my throat is really dry and it hurts every time I swallow. There's also a little bit of body pain going on. I took Erythro 250 and Colgin Plus, but they're not helping. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?

Accepted Answer

You can take an antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice a day for 5-7 days to target the infection. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for the body aches and throat pain. Make sure to drink plenty of warm fluids and get adequate rest to help your body recover. Ensure to consult a doctor before starting any medication.
