I had a sore throat that started May 9th with slight fever, and did not see the doctor until 5 days later and gave me Azitromycin for 5 days (2 beginning dosage) and once a day after. My sore throat came with cough. Then the sore throat went away after a two weeks, but the cough lingered. After a couple of weeks, I wnet back to the doctor becuase the cough won t go away, and the Dr gave me Amoxicillin 4,000mg a day for 7 days and I was fine. Acute bronchitis is the diagnosis. Today 6/16 I feel sore throat again, hard to swallow and pain radiating to my right ear. What could this be?
