usually, sorethroat will get reduced on its own, when supported by drinking warm water and avoiding cold food stuffs.. if the cough and cold stays for more than 5 to 6 days, it’s better to consult your ottorhinolagyngologist (ENT specialist) or your general physician. Kindly donor consume any antibiotics on your own. Coz unnecessarily u may cause resistance to certain bacteria strain.
