A member asked:

May not be bacterial: I would recommend a follow up visit since you may have developed a yeast infection while you were on the antibiotics. Also, many sore throats are caused not by bacteria but by a virus. In this case rest, liquids and analgesics such as Ibuprofen or a sore throat spray containing 1.4% phenol will help you feel better while your body fights off the infection.

See an ENT: I would visit with either your physician or a specialist like an ear, nose, and throat doctor. They can find the particulars of your situation and can best guide you.
