Most sore throats and runny noses are caused by viral infections, so Cefakind 250 Tablet (an antibiotic) may not be effective. Betadine Gargle (Povidone-Iodine) can help relieve throat discomfort, but does not treat the infection. If symptoms persist for more than a few days, worsen, or are accompanied by a high fever, consult a doctor for appropriate treatment.

- Using both together is generally safe if the sore throat is bacterial.
- Antibiotics should only be used if prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Recommendations:
- Consult a doctor to determine if antibiotics are necessary.
- Use Betadine Gargle as directed for throat relief.
- Monitor symptoms; seek medical advice if they worsen or persist.
