Sever throat infection
I have sever throat infection because I drank water outside. This is not the first time it's happening. Everytime I drink water outside or if the water is not boiled I get soar throat. I am currently having fever I have taken dolo 650 and I am gargling in Betadine gargle. Is it OK. Is there other medication I can take. Usually it takes 4 to 5 days for it to go. It's already 2 days but it hurts I want to take this tablet called Augmentine. Is it OK to take that.
