What should I do if my trouble swallowing has not improved after taking the antibiotic cefdoxime for five days and gargling with betadine for seven days?

Asked by Female, 30 · 7 days ago

I understand how frustrating it is to still have trouble swallowing. Since five days of the antibiotic cefpodoxime (cefdoxime) and seven days of povidone-iodine (Betadine) gargles have not brought relief, it is important to contact your doctor for a follow-up. This lack of improvement could mean the cause is viral rather than bacterial, or that a different treatment is needed. A quick re-evaluation will help identify the exact cause so you can get the right care. In the meantime, please stay well-hydrated with warm liquids or cool sips of water to help soothe your throat.
