Sore throat
Last 27th an ENT surgeon told me to take cefpodoxime proxetil tablets twice a day due to lymph node infection. I have taken three tablets of which from yesterday till this morning. But my throat started hurting since yesterday afternoon. This morning while eating, I noticed that my throat was very sore. Can someone please tell me is this a side effect of the medicine? What should I do now, or should I take the medicine again?
