Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question there is likely possibility of infection in your case either reactivation of streptococal infection or possibly fungal infection which may be due to long term antibiotic use.

You should consult your doctor for detailed examination, depending upon it further evaluation can be planned.

Following investigations may help in management-
- Complete blood count.
- ESR, CRP.
- Chest xray.

You can try gargles with candid mouth wash and Luke warm salted water, lozenges.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
