    Default My throat-HELP!

    So, I have been sick off and on since January with this throat infection. I have been to the doctor three times, and given antibiotics on all three occasions. It has come back yet again, and I'm positive it's the same thing. I DO NOT want to take antibiotics again. I am currently gargling twice a day, rotating between a hydrogen peroxide/water mix and a salt water mix, drinking lots of water and tea.
    Does anyone have remedies they swear by? Also, at what point do you all think I should go see a throat specialist? I'm getting worried I won't ever kick this!

    Umm go see thraot specialist asap or ask dr what else can be done. If he's given u antibiotics 3 times and same problem then something's comletely wrong. I know that's gotta hu like hell and you've been hurting way too long. Sounds like doc lieks to prescribe meds and send u on your way.....(?)

    Yeah talk to someone else.

    Sorry Idk any remedies.

    I hope you get to root of problem and can get it fixed asap.

    It depends on what kind of throat pain you have, but Throat Coat tea is awesome for a scratchy, raw-feeling sore throat. You can get it at GNC for under $5. Its wonderful! But if its more of a swollen pain when you swallow, the tea won't help much. If that's the case, Advil is your best bet. Hope you feel better soon!

    Oh, and see another doctor. Sick since January sounds like more than just a little infection. Hope you don't still have tonsils. A friend of mine had a similar sounding problem and they finally had to remove his tonsils.

    I love Throat Coat Tea. But I also have to say that you need another opinion. This is way too long for you to be sick.

    One thing that comes to mind for me is that you might have a mold allergy though. I'm in Oregon too, and things are freaking moist here. I've tested allergic to molds, and I learned that it can cause flu-like symptoms. It inflames my throat like crazy.

    You could also have something like thrush. I had that as a baby.

    Def switch docs for a sec.

    You may want to get your tonsils taken out if you still have them. When I was younger I got recurrent throat problems that were so bad my entire throat was covered in white stuff and I was given vicodin for the pain. Got my tonsils out, never had a bad sore throat again.
