How To Treat Sore Throat, Left Sided Tonsillitis And Diarrhea?

I have a sore throat that began during the night, still have tonsils and it is on the left side of my throat. I started sucking on Zinc lozenges which usually does the trick, but during this morning I have also had bouts of diarrhea. No fever. I have had the 2017 flu shot but am surrounded with people with flu and cold symptoms. Anything I can do to alleviate the full sickness?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are suffering from a bout of flu. Since you have tonsillitis, you may have to take an antibiotic course to treat the infection. Take betadine gargles twice daily and a painkiller like Tylenol to alleviate the pain. The diarrhea is most likely viral in origin and therefore will run its course. Take plenty of fluids in the form of water and ORS. You can take a probiotic and prebiotic respules which will help to restore the intestinal flora and help in faster recovery.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.amman
