Since recovering from COVID-19, I keep getting frequent throat infections and painful, swollen tonsils; now that my sore throat, tonsil pain, and wet cough have returned after finishing a 5-day course of Augmentin 650, Enzoflam, and Supradyn, should I continue taking these medications?
I?m so sorry you are dealing with these persistent symptoms after your COVID-19 recovery; it must be very exhausting. Please do not restart your medications, especially the antibiotic Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate), without consulting your doctor. Completing your initial 5-day course of Augmentin, Enzoflam, and Supradyn was correct, but continuing them without guidance can be harmful. Because your sore throat, swollen tonsils, and wet cough have returned, a physical evaluation is necessary to find the exact cause. Your doctor may need to perform a throat swab or adjust your treatment plan. In the meantime, rest, stay hydrated, and use warm saline gargles to soothe your throat. We will get this resolved for you.
