Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

From the description that you have provided, you seem to be having upper respiratory bacterial infection. I would suggest you to do the following:

- You will need to start on a course of antibiotics, you may consider taking T. AUGMENTIN (combination of amoxicillin and clavulinic acid) twice daily after food for 5 days.

- Also take C. PAN-D once daily half hour before food for 5 days.

- Exercise regular steam inhalation 2-3 times daily.

- If you have a productive cough, you may go for any expectorant cough syrups.

- Also do warm saline gargles so as to reduce the throat inflammation and prevent the spread of infection.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close your query and share your positive feedback.

Regards
