sore throat for months

Help, I have had a sore throat for about 4 months now, have been to 4 doctors all thought i had allegies, gave me nasonex and allegra, nothing helped. Then, went to ENT, he told me "maybe" it was GERD becuase he saw my throat looking a little red. I took prilosec,did not help. I went back to the ENT who now said he didnt know what i could possibly have so to try a "swiss and swallow" mouth wash and then if that didnt help to take Avelox antibiotics. (by the way i have had 3 course of antibiotics, none helped)..he said if that didnt help then he would send me for a cat scan. I am soo freaked out about this being cancer or oral hpv, i dont know what to do. I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with hpv high risk in cervix. Help please. I feel no doctors are giving me any answers, help or relief.

Get a throat swab done and have it sent to pathology to find out if it is an infection that is resistant to most antibiotics.
