Hi, my wife has had a sore throat for over two weeks, had a doctor's consult and was on a course of antibiotics. tested for covid 19 yesterday and negative. what further treatment is required to rid this infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19 : If she worsens then medical follow up will be indicated. There are some other viral infections (besides COVID 19) that may need to run their course and which would not be expected to improve on an antibiotic. Glad she is COVID 19 negative.
