Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife has a weird sore throat. it is only on one side ... her left... the outside of her throat is really red... she tested negative for strep... so they gave her omycillin... sp? she has taken it for two days and usually by now it gets better? this time no....
Although Omacillin which contains Amoxycillin is effective in sore throat, Azithromycin is the best drug and I would have given Azithromycin twice daily for 5 days along with warm saline gargle 3-4 times daily to my patient with sore throat. Please consult your doctor if condition persists or worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
