Sore Throat
by SKMEHAB, Aug 17, 2006 12:00AM
Hi,
Since last 6 months I am suffering from sore throat. It was diagonised as some infection, they did gave me some anti-biotec medicines and it subsided but after I stop taken medecine it comes back. They tested me for Tonsillitis and it was well in range.
I am 32 years old from India, residing in UAE and have sitting job (i.e. no exposure to hot and dusty weather). I do not have fever, cold or any kind of nasal problem. Cold drink and cold water or Ice cream causes severity. Gargle with hot-salty water helps a lot, but i can do it daily.
What could be the reason for its re-occurence? Or tell me which tests should I ask my Doctor to get done for better treatment.
Thanks,

It is possible that this is from a chronic sinus inflammation or infection. It may be a good idea to get a CT of the sinuses to see if they are involved. If this is the case, a more prolonged course of antibiotics, decongestants and possibly a nasal inhaled steroid spray may be necessary. Making the diagnosis is the first step to getting rid of this problem.
