Sore throat for 5 weeks!!!

[asiv]

I have had a Sore Throat for 5 weeks now.the Tonsils and back of throat are really sore!! Dr seems to think its nothing to worry about.Also my arms feel really week.Has anyone else suffered with a sore throat for this long??

If you're still not satisfied with the advise, consider getting a second opinion from another MD

Hi,The dr said there was nothing wrong and the throat was because of Anxiety and to stop thinking about it.Funny because i can clearly see blisters/sores on the back of my throat and also the area before the tonsils is red and sore.The Dimetridazole didnt work and now the Dr has said he will not give me anything for it because he thinks its due to Anxiety.Pls advise.

How'd it go?

Ok.I have an appointment tomorrow morning.Will let u know how it went.

Dimetridazole isn't an antibiotic I'm familiar with and is not listed in my drug reference "lexi-comp".  Looking online it looks like it's an antiparasitic used in poultry?

Go back and see your doctor, or another for a second opinion!

Have been taken off the Cipro as it was causing a few side effects.It was replaced with
Dimetridazole 3 times a day.(i have 21 tablets)Its nearly been a week and still not much relief.the oropharynx has what look like sores/blisters and the tonsil area is still red.
