I've been dealing with a throat infection for the past 15 days and it's not getting any better. I've already taken a lot of antibiotics as the doctor prescribed, but it still hasn't cleared up. What should I do next? Could I be missing something important in my treatment?

In such cases, your doctor may consider prescribing a different class of antibiotics or other medications. You can try using lozenges containing Benzocaine or Dyclonine for symptomatic relief. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having trouble with a blocked nose that makes it hard for me to breathe, especially when I'm lying down. I don't have a cough, fever, or runny nose, but I can feel a bit of chest congestion. It's like the inside of my nose, near the bone area, is all blocked up. What can I do to feel better?
