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.
Suggest Antibiotic For Sore Throat And Swollen Glands
I have had a sore throat and swollen glands for 2 months. I am totally exhausted all the time. The antibiotic I was given, Ceprozil, has not worked. I have Sjogrens. Could this be related to the throat problem? Or should I be on a different antibiotic?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and swollen glands which seems to be due to inflammation of tonsils and upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to dry mouth as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. Do rinses with antimicrobial mouth wash. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and start treatment after proper prescription. You should take antibiotic course after proper prescription. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and maintain proper oral hygiene. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
