DRY THROAT was started.
Your sore throat discrpition is exactly what we have been chasing for nine months.Our 14 year old dughter has the same as you do in the throat/ear pain. Ulcers and whiteish inflamation and she has even developed ulcers in her mouth ,tongue and nose.
Using colcinchin and nilstat/nystatin and benadryl ( a compuond made at the pharmacy. The ulcers will be very little if not even gone ,BUT and this is a big BUT , you will be living on a very fine line ,as soon as you get "the sniffles" ,it all comes back again in your throat.
We have been through 5(five) specialists ,admmited into a cancer clinic (looking for Lymphoma) 3 c.t. scans , 2 biopsies (throat) 1 gene rearrangment analysis. Prednisone (steriod), antibiotics ( ceftin ,anomoxin, and some others that I can't remeber right now) anti-fungal agent fluconase have all been tried with some having good sucess for a few days and then back to hell again. This is a very miserable state to be in.
One doc is treating her for Reocurrent Aphtomis Stomotitis ( R.A.S.), one is treating for Bechet's disease. PLEASE-PLEASE If you have any info on your end I would be very grateful.
P.S. I can tell you with-out a doubt that our daughter is a virgin.

It is clear that you are very upset about this condition. It is possible that this is a viral infection. Several upper airway viruses can cause similar symptoms and can follow another infection, as you have described. It is also possible that the previous infection did not completely clear with the antibiotics you took and has flared again. A diagnosis cannot be made for sure without a culture. If this is a viral infection it will go away over a period of time. If the symptoms continue to increase, more testing may be needed, including a sinus x-ray.
it might be coxsackie's.......its a virus and its like a herpes....kids get it alot........
Info on acyclovir at: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/acyclo.htm
http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/acyclo_pi.htm Patient Info
"Acyclovir is used for the treatment of genital herpes, varicella-zoster (shingles) and chickenpox."
-------------------------------------

"Why is this medication prescribed?
Acyclovir is used to treat herpes infections of the skin, lip, and genitals; herpes zoster (shingles); and chickenpox. It does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and itching and promotes healing.
Topical acyclovir does not prevent the recurrence of sores but may decrease pain and itching if applied when the earliest symptoms first appear. Oral acyclovir decreases the frequency and severity of recurrent sores, but it is used only by people with severe herpes infections because of possible adverse effects."
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information."

You might want to get another opinion from an ENT [ear, nose, throat specialist. The diagnosis you got sounds more like a guess. You should have taken the antibiotics to the end of the dose. Maybe the infection came back?
Regarding surgery, ask your surgeon or anesthesiologist. Depends on the type of surgery, type of anesthesia [general with intubation, local with MAC, spinal]. Let us know what he says.
