I have had a sore throat for 2 months and had antibiotics and still have a sore throat and little yellow spots ?

See your ENT & GI: Rather than ask for more antibiotics, ask your GP to refer you to ENT (ear nose & throat) and GI (gastroenterologist) for evaluation as there are many reasons to have a sore throat and too often we just jump to unnecessary antibiotics. Ask partner if you've recently started snoring as mouth breathing can lead to dry/sore throat in AM but usually improves as day progresses.
