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.
I had some ear wax removed from both ears and that night started with a tickle in my throat and a cough.. Called my doc back and he gave me an antibiotic to take but after almost a week still have a sore throat and a slight cough. I guess I will call him back for something else to take????
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should start combination of anti histamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti inflammatory (paracetamol) twice daily after food. Also drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid oily, spicy and hard to chew food. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Don't worry, you will be alright in throat pain and cough. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
