Dear Doctor, I am suffering from throat infection, also asthamtic (since birth). Last month I had a bout of throat infection and it led to an asthma attack and was pretty bad. Now I am getting the symptoms of throat infection again.Usually I take azithromycin. Please suggest some remedy
Hello and thanks for using HCM. It depends upon the cause of the throat infection. If it is viral then salt water gargles, lozenges and drinking plenty of water will help. If it is bacterial like strep you will need antibiotics. Unfortunately you must see a physician to make the diagnosis. Since you have asthma it is definitely safer to see a doctor and not try home remedies. I hope you feel better soon.
