Continue the gargle, and do this breathing technique, up to 21 times daily.
Ujjayi pranayam
Procedure: While breathing in, tighten throat(contract glotis) and there will be sound from back of throat, then drop chin(rest chin on chest), hold breath as long as possible.Then  chin up, close right nostril and slowly breath out through left nostril.
Duration: 5 – 21 times

How to do Ujjayi
When you clear your throat, you tighten your throat and breath out, twice, with a pause in between. . Now if you reverse this, that is, tighten the throat and breath in continuously for abour 8 to 12 seconds, then hold your breath for 4 seconds with the chin down, then  chin up, close right nostril and slowly breath out through left nostril, you have just done Ujjayi pranayam.You will feel like coughing initially.

Perhaps you are not dealing with a bacterial infection, but a viral or fungal infection or she hasn't prescribed the right antibiotic or this is NOT an infection but something else.

Reconsult her and have her change the regimen.  This is NOTHING that a home remedy will fix, sorry.  She should also prescribe a throat gargle.

First, what diagnosis have you gotten from the ENT doc?  How long ago did you see him/her?  

What meds were you prescribed?  

You can't post your email in a public forum.
