Q: can i take benzylpenicillin through oral route (i heard that penicillin get degraded by gastric ph then how it would produce action?

: No, benzyl penicillin is only by injection. See reply to your other question. Proper treatment in India typically is either ceftriaxone by injection or cefixime orally, followed by azithromycin or doxycycline.
