I have frequent throat infections, what medicine should I take?

Frequent throat infections require a proper medical evaluation to find the root cause, such as recurrent tonsillitis, acid reflux, or allergies. Please do not take antibiotics without a prescription, as they only work for bacterial infections (like strep) and will not help viral ones. For temporary symptom relief, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, throat lozenges, and warm saltwater gargles. I highly recommend visiting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can swab your throat to determine the exact cause and prescribe the correct targeted treatment.
