Hello,
It is my opinion, that you should get your doctor evaluated for tuberculosis. There is a simple enough test called Mantoux or more advanced tests like quantifferon levels and CBNAAT.
Additionally, you could consider a throat swab for culture and sensitivity of the organism that is causing the infection.
Get the ESR levels checked. As a result you can get specific antibiotics prescribed that the organisms will be sensitive to.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
