What to Do About Throat Pain and Itchy Ears

Question

Last night, as I went to bed, my throat started hurting and my ears felt itchy. It might be an upset stomach; last night, I started shivering with a slight fever and a bit of coughing. I bought Pudianlan Anti-inflammatory Capsules and Shunzhuang Febrifuge Tablets, but the effect wasn’t very noticeable. Hi, do I need to take any anti-inflammatory medicine? Which is better, Hiclo or Amoxicillin? Do I need to buy any other medicine?

Answer

Hello; based on your description, it seems you are experiencing an upper respiratory infection and should seek treatment promptly. You need to take antibiotics immediately and can take the anti-inflammatory medicine you have. I suggest adding Liu Shen Wan and Qingkailing Oral Liquid. Be sure to get plenty of rest and avoid spicy foods.
