Hi.
Since you have been already under Cefaclor and still got worsening, and you can not stop swallowing saliva, and have a feeling of blocked up with mucus or bubble feeling and chest pains with normal CT and blood; the most probable cause is that you are suffering from severe granular Pharyngitis.
The CT scan will be normal in this case.
You need to be changed over to another antibiotic, add on a good anti-inflammatory and decongestant tablets, have gargles.
Since blood tests are already done , now you need to undergo ENT Examination, endoscopy to see what exactly is causing you the problem, and still better to take a throat swab for microscopy and culture and sensitivity to get an idea if another antibiotic most suitable needs to be added or so.
