What medicines can i take for sore throat?

Doctor can check: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can help decrease pain.

Sore throat: You have a lot of options for meds and a sore throat. You can take Tylenol or Motrin for the throat pain. You can take sudafed for the post nasal drainage. If these do not help you can use topical anesthetic sprays like chloroseptic spray that comes in two flavors regular or cherry. If this persists for a week, see your physician. Good luck and feel better!
