Am i able to take antibiotics now?
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: You need prescription from doctor and also assessment before taking antibiotics. Explanation: After severe vomiting sometimes it may feel like you have something in your throat. It may not be an infection always. So, don't diagnose on your own.  Instead, go to your doctor and get yourself examined for any throat infection if any present. Meanwhile you can gargle with salt water every 2hrs and can take plenty of fluids which will help to get rid of your infection if present.  Good luck
