Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had 3 major sore throats since January 2017. I have been treated for two of them with amoxicillin and now with flonase and singulair. Except that i now have another sore throat. I have had sinus infections my whole life but I have never had three in 5 months. 1 or 2 a years, maybe, but never this many. I am concerned that i will become antibiotic resistant. could this sore throat be something other than a sinus infection? Thank you
