View allI'm having this annoying throat pain, and my doctor prescribed Augmentin 625. Do you think it'll help with the pain I feel when swallowing?
Augmentin 625, a combination antibiotic of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, can help cure throat pain caused by bacterial infections such as strep throat, but if your throat pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor to rule out other causes, such as viral infections or other conditions.

Is it safe to use Epsom salt for gargling? A lot of my friends keep saying it's helpful in different situations, but I'm worried if it might harm the body in some way. Are there any precautions I should take if I decide to use it?
Epsom salt, when dissolved in water, can be used as a gargle to help relieve sore throat and mouth sores. It is generally safe for gargling when used in appropriate concentrations. However, it is important to note that ingesting Epsom salt can lead to magnesium toxicity, so it should not be swallowed. To gargle with Epsom salt, mix about half a teaspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it for a few seconds before spitting it out. There is no need to cover up after gargling with Epsom salt.

I'm worried about a hole in my eardrum on the left side. There's no pain or irritation, but I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can eardrums heal on their own without surgery? Also, how long does it typically take for treatment?
