My husband's runny nose improved after taking Cheston Cold and Allegra, but his sore throat has not gotten better; what medicine should he take for his sore throat, and would Augmentin Duo 625 work for this?
For his sore throat, please avoid starting Augmentin Duo 625 (amoxicillin/clavulanate) without a doctor's prescription. Most sore throats are caused by viral infections, and antibiotics will not work against them. Instead, he can try simple remedies like warm salt-water gargles or over-the-counter paracetamol to help ease the pain. Staying hydrated with warm liquids will also help soothe his throat. If his sore throat persists, worsens, or is accompanied by a high fever, please consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.
