View allI've had this throat infection for a few days now, and it's just not going away. It started with pain and soreness, and I took oflox200 for three days, which helped at first. But then, only a few days later, the symptoms came back even worse. This time, I've been on Azithromycin 250 mg, Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Levocetirizine for three days, but the pain is still there. I did feel a little better on the first day, but the soreness and pain are back, especially when I swallow. Theres only one day of this course left, and I'm worried because theres no real improvement. Can you suggest another antibiotic that might actually work for me?
Krishna, considering your persistent throat infection symptoms despite completing two antibiotic courses, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out other underlying conditions, such as tonsillitis, strep throat, or a viral infection; they may prescribe alternative antibiotics like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Clindamycin, or Cefpodoxime, or order further tests like a throat culture or rapid strep test to guide treatment; in addition, maintain good hydration, gargle with salt water, and use throat lozenges to help soothe your throat

My nose has been slightly bent to the right since I was born. Is there anything I can do to fix it without surgery? What options do I have besides going under the knife?

I'm really worried because my husband has been noticing some blood when he spits every now and then for about a month, and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. We've done a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, a stomach ultrasound, and even an endoscopy for his throat and nose, but everything came back normal. We're not sure what steps to take next or if there's something else we should be checking out. Have you got any advice on what might be happening or what we should do?
i think he can have gum disease so consult dentist for the same
