What do you think I may have? Sore throat for over a month. Worse now.

I've had a sore throat for well over a month, and I did got to my doctor a month ago and he said I had a viral throat infection, but i did have a white like bump next to my throat. Strep was negative. Now a month later the sore throat is much severe to the point I just am afaird to swallow. My neck also hurts badely, I'm very congested and achey. I think it's my tonsils. My throat always seems to bother me all the time, but it hasn't been these constant.

This bug is everywhere in the Uk at the moment. Lots of people I know including myself have the same symptoms. The doctors are treating it differently with everything from antibiotics to nasal sprays. I'm not sure they know what it is either.

Also, I have this bad taste in my mouth, and no matter how many times I brush my teeth it will not go away.
