Is erythromycin good for sore throat?
I hаνе extremly bаd sore throat, іn fact іtѕ mу weak spot, іt bothers mе throughout thе whole year bυt іn winter time I suffer thе mοѕt.

Sο mу friend hаѕ erythromycin аnd ѕhе wаntѕ mе tο try іt bυt I’m nοt sure whаt іt іѕ primarily used fοr, maybe іt won’t hеlр mу throat аt аll. Sο, please іf уου know something аbουt іt I’d really appreciate thе info. Thanx
ok, Hοw саn I find аnу public clinic, thаt treats уου fοr free? Never heard οf such a thing, I live іn Nеw York
1) A sore throat could be simple (minor infection) or much more complex (need for tonsillectomy or even throat cancer) & there’s no way to know without taking a throat culture.
2) Never take someone else’s medicine. It wasn’t meant for you. How the medicine is made and dosages are very personal, based on your age, weight, and what the medicine is supposed to do. Your friend might have taken it to clear up pimples, not whatever you have going on in your throat.
3) You can see a medical professional at Public Health Clinic for FREE, so go! Let THEM find out what’s wrong & treat it.
it is used for infections
try warm water and salt gargle a few times tonight and tomorrow morning they soar throat should be gone.
if not take 1/2 of the eytromycin with a good breakfast. i can bother some peoples stomach
So sorry if I repeat answers. You should NEVER take an antibiotic unless you know you have an infection. The misuse of antibiotics,,very bad situation. Do not take any medication that is no over the counter without you doctors permission.
Why do you have a sore throat so much?
I think they both treat bacterial infections.
And erythromycin can really cause alot of stomach aches, so if you try it, take it with a big meal or maybe a glass of milk
It is an antibiotic, and should work. You should be aware that you need enough antibiotics to take for 5-10 days in order for them to work. If you only take a few–then you do wind up at an ER or doctor later–you will have masked your symptoms so that the doctors can’t be sure what’s wrong with you.
There must be a free or sliding scale clinic where you live (there are in virtually every city and state) where you can go for diagnosis and treatment. It’s a bad policy to take other people’s meds (though most have done so–particularly in the case of antibiotics given to other family members). If one turns out being allergic to a certain med he or she will wind up in the emergency room, anyway (if not worse).
I would not suggest self medication. Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html
