Do you still have throat pain? It does not seem like the throat infection is still there if there is no pain. dry throat may be due to acid reflux especially after antibiotic.
Please start tab pantocid dsr once a day on empty stomach
for 7 days
Next Steps
avoid spicy/oily and sour food
if symptom persists after 5 days please visit nearest health facility
Health Tips
