Ive had a sore throat for seven weeks now and its really getting on my #nerves. Ive also had an irritating cough for the same amount but no other cold symptoms. I occasionally get a pain in my ear and round my jaw and cheeks. Ive gone to the doctors and at first i was told i had tonsillitis. I was given a course of anti biotics but this didn t help. One week later i went to the doctors and told them i still had the sore throat and pain in my ear, jaw and cheeks and said about this annoying cough. They checked my throat and said there was no sign of tonsillitis but put me on another course of anti biotics and once again it didn t help. I don t know what to do now and its really worrying me.
