Taking Antibiotics For Tonsils, Have Inflamed Taste Buds, Rock Like Tonsils, Constant Pain, Earache, Mouth Dryness. Any Ideas?
I have been dealing with on and off strep throat and being on antibiotics for my tonsils for over a year now. i just recently developed thrush throat and got rid of it quickly, but along with my thrush came horribly inflamed taste buds. this was 3-4 weeks ago now and my throat has not gotten better, i have developed tonsil rocks and my throat constantly hurts and throbs in my tonsil area, along with ear pain and dry mouth. my doctor does not know the cause, as i have tested negative for strep throat and thrush. On a side note, 2 months ago i had my iron tested and it was at a level of 3. Any idea whats going on with my throat? i m a singer and this is just awful for me.

2. An oral decongestant such as Loratidine and in cominabtion with pseudoephedrine by the name of Telfast D twice daily for 05 days.
3. With the combination of Paracetamol 500 mg thrice a day for 03 days.
4. Ear drops such as Otoflox 0.6% 05 drops in the morning and 05 in the noon.
