### Patient: Hi doctor, I have been having a sore throat and difficulty swallowing for a few days now. I think I might have an abscess of the pharynx.
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may have an abscess of the pharynx. I would prescribe a combination of antibiotics like Clindamycin, Cloxacillin, Cefotaxime or Cefixime (Suprax) to help fight off the infection. Additionally, I would suggest using a topical steroid medication like Dexamethasone Topical Product or Phenol Topical to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Nasal sprays like Azelastine Nasal or Triamcinolone Nasal Product may also help ease symptoms.
