How long will it take for my sore throat to heal if I still have pain when swallowing liquids or saliva after two days of gargling with warm salt water and taking Azee 500, Sumo Cold, and Brufen 400 mg?
I understand how uncomfortable a sore throat can be, especially when swallowing. Typically, throat infections take about 5 to 7 days to fully heal. Since you have only been on azithromycin (Azee 500), Brufen (ibuprofen), and Sumo Cold for two days, it is normal to still experience pain, as these medications often need 48 to 72 hours to show significant improvement. Please continue your warm salt water gargles, stay well-hydrated, and take your prescribed doses. If your symptoms worsen, or if you do not feel better in another two days, please consult your doctor for a quick follow-up.
