Chronic sore throat.

I have had a chronic sore throat for 6 months. It started with a normal cold but hasn't left. Gp has taken blood,  all of which were fine. I've been given Omeprazole,  but no change. Had 3 different courses of antibiotics to no avail. Have even been given Nystatin and Fluconazole incase of Esophageal thrush. Nothing has helped. 

Have spoken to ENT Consultant who suggested Omeprazole and Advanced Gaviscon again incase it is Gerd. Can't get me in for a scope due to Covid situation. 

My throat aches, it's difficult to swallow at times and I feel as though something is stuck, as if I need to clear my throat constantly. 

I also have a wisdom tooth which has given me hassle in the past. I wonder if this is my problem. Any advice appreciated.

    Hi carey3

    I am going so sorry to hear what you going through  I am going through smiller problem for over months now, my throat is hurting and I am finding difficult to swallow foods

     sometimes I will feel bloody taste on my mouth its feel like coming from mouth when i spit out saliva brownish saliva will come out I then contacted my doctor through telephone conversation he gave me antibiotics for 5days which did not make any difference

    i then contacted the doctor after five days later this times it was a different doctor he advised me to have rest for 2weeks it will go away it own.

     I contact the doctor after 2weeks and this time it was the doctor from first conversation he had he prescribed me with lonperizol for weeks which did not make any difference again.

      today I have contact my doctor again  and time it was another doctor it was a female doctor I told her what I am going through she then increased my dose for another 2week she told me due to Corona virus it will be difficult to see ENT specialist. After 2 week course I need to contact the doctor again she then send me to ENT SPECIALIST.
