I have had a soar throat since monday. i went to the pharmacy the clinic sister said it's a throat infection and i have moisture behind my 1ear. due to the fact that i'm breastfeeding she only gave me oranix to gargle but it's not helping?

Doctor can recheck: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A throat swab to check for strep bacteria may be useful.
