Severe Throat Pain After Taking Medication For Respiratory Infection. Suggest
Doc, good day. i was just treated for respiratory infection and fever with augmentin capsules and coartem tablets. Now i have developed serious throat pain that makes swallowing very very difficult and painful. Before now, i have had persistent sore throat for over 1 yr. After the augmentin treatment, that sore throat is gone but has now given rise to severe throat pain. Pls what should i do? Thanks.
