Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline would clear out most bacteria from an infected throat.  Ask your doctor to look and consider herpes simplex or aphthous ulcers.

Unlikely to be from the wasp killer

Thanks for replying,No allegies that i know of.I do remember just before the sore throat started that i was spraying some wasp killer on a nest that i had discovered in my front garden and becaause of the wind direction i got some in my mouth.Do you think that could be the cause?? Im on cipro and Doxy for a urine infection and the Dr said it should help clear the throat too but no luck.It feels like ive got a lump in my throat by the Adams apple and my tonsil area is really red and what look like small blisters just in front of the tonsils.Also the pain sometimes extends to my ears too and the area below my jaw line also seems sensitive.

If you've seen the doc, has he done a culture?  5 weeks is an awfully long time, and is less likely from infection.  Do you have allergies or acid reflux?
