A member asked:
It is good to take antibiotics if u have upper respiratory infection? and what's should i take medicine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uri: In general, upper respiratory infections are caused by viruses and are not indicated. In your case, since you have pain when swallowing, see your doctor and get a throat culture. If you have strep , then antibiotics like amoxicillen would be indicated.
