Sore throat for weeks - suggestions??

[JillBYeats]

Well, about 3 weeks. It's worse at night so I more or less forget about it during the day. Can't get a doctor's appointment this week (in fairness I only tried this evening when it kicked off again). I've been taking nuriofen and paracetemol and gargling with salt water but they only work for so long. What do you do with your sore throats??? Apple??? Raw onion???

I had one like this after my son had scarlet fever, I ended up taking antibiotics and it cleared in a matter of days. Not great taking antibiotics but I think nearing 4 weeks it could be an infection?

Any other symptoms?

Get your central heating system (and any other appliances) tested for carbon monoxide as a sore throat can be one of the symptoms of low-level CO poisoning.

I had similar where it hurt at night / morning and faded during the day. The doctor diagnosed acid reflux and told me to sleep slightly propped up and it's disappeared finally
