What Causes Constant Throat Pain Despite Taking Antibiotics?

I have been sick for three weeks now. My throat has been hurting I have been going to the doctor every week about this. I am on antibiotics saw a ENT Doctor he ordered for me to have a cat Scan. Saw a psychological doctor today. He wanted me to see a psychiatrist. Because my regular doctor thinks it s in my head. It s not in my head. I also see a psychologist for other stuff.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant throat pain despite taking antibiotics which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease or poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
