2. Throat itching/irritation that leads to cough if she doesn't take montek lc
3. Even sitting under fan in this summer for Long causes some pain in the throat (like it does when you catch cold)...cannot tolerate air conditioning at all.
She has the taken full course of the following medicines:
1. Amoxicillin for 3 days
2. Azithromycin for 7 days
3. Zocef 500 for 10 days
4. Combiflam for 10 days

Hello, it's the other way round... Inflamed adenoids disrupt the normal mucociliary clearance and can cause sinusitis ...... it looks like she has allergy also....
