So fed up. every morning for longer than a week i wake up with a sore throat and post nasal drip. one ear also blocked. wont go away. doctor useless.

Doctor can recheck: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or another cause such as irritants or allergies (especially spring time). Usually, one sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to look for strep). Aside from primary care doctors, an Allergist or an ENT doctor can help.
