A member asked:
Taking penicillin for tooth infection now i have sore throat and yellow phlegm, what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continue penicillin: Finish taking the penicillin. It can be coincidental that you have the throat infection with the toothache. The yellow phlegm is the body containing and expelling harmful bacteria.
