Acute Throat Infection
Hi everyone,
Best wishes!
Please find attached photo.
I am repeatedly being attacked by throt pain/infection. There is pain while swallowing and continuous irritation in throat.
I have consulted one ENT Dcotor in clinic and he has given me antibiotic (Enclav-625) and I have used it which relieved me but the irritation did not go completely. It is repeatedly attacking. I have again reached out to a doctor on Practo after taking appointment and he also gave me a antibiotic - Augmentin(5 days course)& Betadin Gargle. I have used it which again gave relief for a week and again the condition persists and often attacks by pain and irritation in throat.
I have been unable to find a permanent solution to this and get a complete cure to my throat.
Please help me in this regard. Thanks a lot!
Thanks,
Maruthi.

If u are having this problem repeatedly ... It cd be due to an allergy or reflux ... Instead of taking antibiotics again and again kindly use betadine gargles only and consult an ent doctor if the problem persists ...the throat does look congested sometimes an infection can persist for longer periods also
Next Steps
ent doctor consult

Hi! Actually this is not infection and you don’t require repeated antibiotics, irritation and pain in throat is because of granular pharyngitis which is secondary to reflux and Gerd. You requires treatment for reflux
Next Steps
Consult online for proper history and treatment
