Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Conjunctivitis

I started getting the sore throat on December 27, 2014. I went to the local doctor on Monday the 29th of December. Was given cough medicine with codeine to help me rest. January 1 was taken to the ER for conjunctivitis. Even today January 21, my throat is still sore, some nights I sleep on the couch to be in a more upright position to rest. Had blood work done today and the cbc was ok. So could I have Mono or is it just a virus that has to wear its course. Four weeks is a pretty long time to feel Yucky. Help Me to Feel Better

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history.
Your problem started with sore-throat, started treatment after 2 days. developed conjunctivitis after 6 days and visited ER.
Even after 26 days your throat is still sore, yes 4 weeks is a long time to feel yucky.
The most probable cause is that your resistance power did not recapitulate to normal hence the problem persisted or you were treated less than required.
No problem.
I would in such a situation the following:
- Consult an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation, further investigations if he thinks so, and get an appropriate treatment.
- Complete the courses properly if you want the results.
- Avoid all the foods and beverages which trouble the throat.
- Take sips of water frequently.

I ope this answer helps you to get a cure.
