Sore throat / Swollen
I had sore throat last Monday. Got better in 2 days after having antibiotics and Combiflame for 3 days as prescribed by a local physician.
Then the same problem recurs on the following Sunday. Now, I consulted another doctor who prescribed Azithral as antibiotics. It's been 24 hours that I had medicine but no improvement.
What might be the cause?
Please advise.

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to continue antibiotics and take good painkillers. You can also use antiseptic mouth gargle for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
