A sore, red and swollen throat needs to be identified, and amoxicillin capsules can be taken when there is evidence of a bacterial infection and amoxicillin is a sensitive antibiotic against the causative organism. Amoxicillin capsule is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for infections caused by sensitive bacteria, such as otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis. Amoxicillin capsules can be taken if the sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection that results in redness, swelling, heat, and pain after localized inflammation. Penicillin allergy and penicillin skin test positive patients prohibited amoxicillin capsules. If the sore throat is caused by viruses, it is necessary to treat the symptoms as well as take antiviral drugs such as ribavirin appropriately. Patients need to be in a clear diagnosis, under the guidance of the doctor to use drugs, to avoid the adverse consequences of self-medication. During the period of sore throat, you need to avoid taking spicy food, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water and pay attention to rest.
