I have a sore throat and a runny nose. Can I take Cefakind 250 Tablet and use Betadine Gargle together? Will it be effective?

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.
