I am taking Montair LC for a cold and cough and now have a sore throat, but my COVID-19 test is negative; should I take an antibiotic, and which one is safe to take with my antidepressants?

Since your symptoms started with a cold and cough and your COVID-19 test is negative, this is likely a viral infection. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections and will not help a virus. Because some antibiotics can interact with your antidepressants, it is very important not to self-medicate. You can continue taking Montair LC to help with your cold and cough symptoms. For your sore throat, try warm salt-water gargles and staying hydrated. Please consult your doctor to safely evaluate your symptoms before starting any new medication.
