Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having lumps in the throat. This is usually because of infection or inflammation in the form of pharyngitis or sore throat. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Since it has come negative for streptococci, no need to worry.
But since it is not responding to the antibiotics, the antibiotics need to be changed according to the culture and sensitivity report. Along with the antibiotics decongestants and anti-inflammatory drugs are required for symptomatic relief.
Do consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
