I'm sorry to hear that your throat pain and cough have persisted despite taking Augmentin (an antibiotic) for 15 days. Prolonged symptoms without improvement suggest that the cause might not be bacterial or that the infection requires a different treatment approach.

Here are some important points to consider:

• Reevaluation Needed: Persistent throat pain and cough lasting 30 days warrant a thorough evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can examine your throat, check for other causes such as viral infections, allergies, or other conditions.

• Possible Causes: Your symptoms might be due to viral infections, allergies, acid reflux, or other non-bacterial causes that do not respond to antibiotics like Augmentin.

• Avoid Self-Medication: Since antibiotics have not helped, continuing them without medical advice is not recommended.

• Additional Treatments: Sometimes antihistamines (like levocetirizine) may be helpful if allergies contribute to your symptoms, but this should be decided by a doctor.

• When to Seek Urgent Care: If you develop difficulty breathing, high fever, severe pain, or swelling, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Recommendation: Please consult an ENT specialist promptly for a detailed assessment and appropriate management tailored to your condition.
