Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from a sore throat due to a cold. I am looking for some home remedies. Does ginger tea work to soothe a sore throat? Are there any other home remedies?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Ginger tea or any other drink has not been proven scientifically to cure resistant sore throat and common cold symptoms. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.
1. Take a tablet of Metronidazole (antibiotic) 0.014 ounce (400 mg) thrice daily.
2. Take a capsule of Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid) 0.02 ounce (625mg) twice daily.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.
