3 mos sore throat in 4 countries. antibiotics 3 times, non-smoker, nexium (esomeprazole) 40mg for reflux. uncomfortable swallowing. 2 ents with no insight. ?

Leave it alone: Sometimes it takes a bit longer for the sore throat to settle down. If you have shown it to 2 ents and taken antibiotics, there is nothing further to do except ignore it and be patient. As long as there is no visible growth or ulcers in your throat, you should not worry about it. Do some warm water+ salt, garggles twice daily. If this does not help, take vitmain-c 500 mg for a couple of weeks.
