Dear ENT specialists, My daughter is suffering from sore throat from a couple of days. We sought medical attention and a doctor has prescribed antibiotics (Tablet Azithral 250 mg & Tablet Levocet) daily once for three days. But, as there is pain while swallowing food, can she take lozenges (viz. Vicks or Halls or Strepsils or Zint etc.) additionally?
