Suggest Medication For Sore Throat,cough And Fever
Hi, I've been having a soar throat many times. It's very bad. I can't swallow, and eat solid stuff. It hurts a lot. I've been coughing a lot. My dr gave me antibiotics but I get it back again after few days or month. Is there anyway I can reduce my tonsils or improve my symptoms. I get fever also

Hi,
As you are having recurring throat infection you require some investigations.
Go for throat swab examination for culture and sensitivity test to know specific organisms causing this infection and antibiotic medicines working against them.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
If there is chronic infective foci in your tonsils, go for tonsillectomy operation.
Ok and take care.
