hello,
i can understand your concern. since your infection i would suggest you not to again resume zinnat(cefuroxime) for now. Get a throat swab culture and sensitivity done. By this we will be able to know the antibiotic that would be useful in your case.
Meanwhile do warm water gargles at regular intervals. Avoid cold water and icecreams. take steam inhalations at regular intervals.
Hope this helps. have a speedy recovery.
