A member asked:

I have a sore throat now for over 2 weeks and have been on multiple antibiotics. what do you think is the cause ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cannot diagnose: Sounds superficially like a viral upper respiratory tract infection from which you will shortly recover, but cannot diagnose you long distant. Requires history and physical and perhaps some testing. Either see a doctor or use an otc preparation similar to nyquil for a day or so and see if that does not help.
