I’ve had a sore throat for weeks now, sometimes it’s more painful than other times. I also had a white spot on the inside of my tonsil. I went to my gp who said my throat was red and inflamed and also a lymph node was enlarged under my jaw so they prescribed penicillin anti bis.
Two weeks later the pain came back so I had a telephone appt with the gp. They have now given me Clarithromycin. I only have a couple left and my throat is still really sore, red and the white puss filled spot still there.
However I am starting to really worry. When I spoke to the doctor she said to take these anti bis and if it doesn’t clear up then I must tell them because a prolonged sore throat could be concerning. She has put the fear in me that something awful is wrong especially as my throat is still sore.
Has anybody had a sore throat that hasn’t responded to 2 lots of antibiotics that wasn’t anything awful? This has been about 6 weeks in total now. I am freaking out that it’s the worst possible thing.
