Throat Pain
I am experiencing throat pain since 4 days and difficulty swallowing. It started with a fever of 101 degrees. At that point I didn't have throat pain but a scratchy throat. I visited my family doctor and he prescribed me amoxicillin 625 and other his in house medicines. The fever never came back but from the next day throat pain started.
I have completed the course of amoxicillin (1 tab a day) for 5 days. The doctor also gave me puradine ready gargle solution and painkillers for throat pain. I am taking that.
The pain increases when I speak a lot. And my daily job involves a lot of phone calls and meetings.
I have tried some home remedies like salt water gargles, lukewarm water with ginger and lime etc. but the condition is not improving.
Can you please suggest what has happened actually and how can I get better?
