HelloThank You for contacting HCM.There is no need to give antibiotic unless there are signs of infection. I would suggest you following things:> Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough.> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.> Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.AVOID:> Chilled water> Drinks> Spicy foodHope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
