Treatment for a throat infection depends on whether it is viral or bacterial. Most throat infections are viral and do not require antibiotics. For symptom relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen, alongside throat lozenges to soothe irritation. If your infection is bacterial (like strep throat), you will need a prescription antibiotic, such as Amoxicillin, prescribed by a doctor. Please do not self-medicate with antibiotics. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis, especially if you experience a high fever, severe pain, or difficulty swallowing.
