Please help me I am sick!!

[theos13]

Over the past about month and a half, I have gotten sick around 4 times. Around 2 weeks ago, I went to the doctor and was told I have viral pharyngitis. My symptoms were a slightly sore, but scratchy throat. I had some pain in my right tonsil and right ear. My throat was red but not that inflamed or swollen. Most of all, I suffered from a really bad breath. It would still persist no matter how much I flossed, brushed my teeth, did mouthwash, or chewed gum. Around a week ago, I began to develop a sickness. This time, my symptoms were a slightly scratchy throat, a very dry throat, and most noticeable, a very bad breath. I purchased Flonase and started using it 4 days ago. I use it every night and my sickness has seemed to get better. However, the breath is still slightly there. Starting today, a ticklish feeing in the back of my Thais has appeared and I continue to get the urge of wanting to cough. Over all my instances of sickness, I have done all the recommendations like a saline gargle, and drinking tea. Could you please assist me in finding out what is going on and what I should do.

Have you been tested for any bacterial infections, like Strep throat? Bad smells are sometimes associated with bacterial infections.  If it's not getting better, you should definitely go back to the doctor instead of self-medicating with Flonase.  If it's not allergies, Flonase won't help and might make the situation worse.
