Hey everyone!

I've had a sore throat for 3 weeks - it started as a super severe sore throat and voice hoarsness for 4 days. I got a covid swab for good measure which was negative. After the 4 days my throat eased up but was still sore. The last week my throat has been super super sore and Ive had body aches during those days(it never really went away from the start but j wasnt worried). i keep being told its viral by phone appointments but the last doctor gave me antibiotics to try - im on day 5 and maybe have less "puss" on my tonsils but just as sore and still getting acheing in my legs. Theres a little pocket by my tonsil as well. Ill attach photos .. the first was 6 days ago the second today. Im getting worried about what is going on and followed up with a doctor again on the phone (thanks covid) who basically said oh re evaluate after antibiotics youre fine. !

      Hello everyone.

      I have been suffering from a sore throat for 4 months, first I was diagnosed with acute pharyngitis. After going for a study, they diagnosed me with staphylococcus aureus and I took many antibiotics without getting better.

      My symptoms increase with cold weather, I don't know what to do. Aid.
