Hello
Persistent sore throat is likely to be due to acid re-flux rather than infection and i think your doctor is right in prescribing you omeprazole, and you should continue it.
The black point maybe due to food stuck in the normal pits of your tonsil and can be easily removed by gargling with dilute hydrogen peroxide mouth wash.
Please dont worry.
Take care
