What are the recommended medical next steps for a severe sore throat lasting four days, without cough or cold symptoms, that has failed to improve after taking azithromycin and fexofenadine?

Asked by Female, 31 · 8 days ago

Since it has lasted four days without improvement despite taking azithromycin, it is very important to see a doctor for an in-person evaluation. Because azithromycin is an antibiotic, it won't help if your infection is viral, such as mononucleosis, or if it is caused by a resistant bacterial strain. A healthcare provider can perform a quick throat swab to check for strep throat. To help you feel more comfortable in the meantime, you can gargle with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
