Sore throat, antibiotics or not?
Hi
I started with a scratchy throat then it became more sore, I also coughed due to the soreness in my throat. After 4-5 days I was a little congested and sneezed along with my very sore throat. I did not have white spots in my throat, I've never had fever and body aches. I just had a very sore throat that made it hard to swallow and congestion, I only coughed due to the soreness in my throat. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for me. Do you think I needed them.. My doctor is always giving me antibiotics when I have an inflamed sore throat. I'm very concerned about this as I already took 4 packs of antibiotics. Can you help please.?? Thanks
