Q: from 3 days i am taking linezolid tablet for skin abcess yesterday i got sore throat should i countinue it or not?

: The sore throat probably is unrelated to the antibiotic. Probably you're just catching a cold. (Or COVID?) Continue the antibiotic, but also contact the doctor who prescribed it.

Sore throat is listed as an uncommon adverse effect of this antibiotic. You should continue the antibiotic as advised by Dr. Handsfield.
