Throat infection
My wife has been suffering from throat infection from last two months. Initially She didn't take any treatment. But after one month, she took :
* CLAVAM 375 TWICE A DAY for 5 days , but problem persistsd
* Then she took AUGMENTIN 625 TWICE A DAY for 5 days.
Infection went, But After 4-5 days infection arrived & This time it infected the other side.
Now She is taking AZAX-500, ONCE A DAY FROM THE LAST FOUR DAYS.
Even after taking fourth tablet, she recovered only 20-30%.
Should we increase the dose from once to twice a day?
Thanks a lot

Is it self medication or is she being treated by some Doctor ?
I suggest she should consult a General Physician who can examine her throat and also get some investigations done so that treatment becomes more Scientific and logical.
