Sore throat 3x in 3 weeks: 1x on the right, 2x on the left. lasts 3-4 days, no drainage or cough. md prescription antibiotics didn't help. what could it be?

Get checked for: Infectious mononucleosis/viral infection - which usually lasts longer than a strep infection. Consider having a throat swab and blood count. Take some vitamin c 2 grams a day. Gargle with warm salt water/listerine. Go see an ENT if tonsils are getting bigger. Hope u feel better!
