I called my doctor letting her know i had a cough. She prescribed zpack because i get bronchitis every year and have asthma . However, the cough stopped and the next day i developed sever sore throat both sides. The pain has no went to left side along with bad earache. Im on last day of zpack, still have pain on left side of throat and ear along with white patches . Obviously its sat and dr is not in. Is it normal to take this long for pack to work or is this viral. I do have nasal congestion and cold also.
Your sore throat seems to be lingering longer than usual. I hope you have taken your antibiotics regularly. It can easily be taken for 5 to 7 days. If symptoms continue despite that you may have a change of antibiotics and take augmentin625 three times a day. Beside this take a tablet of minaret 2 to 3 times a day which will take care of the pain and sore throat. I hope your asthma is under control and continue what ever treatment you are taking for it.
