if you have had your tonsills checked by yr doctor and he says that there isn't a problem then i would got to your dentist and have a check up as you could have an infection in your teeth,there could be an underlying problem that could be soughted with antibiotics

Acid reflux could have eroded your esophagus and caused a sore throat. My mom has had that problem and now she is on prilosec. Hope that helps.

yah this is how strep throat starts, if you dont go to the doctor and get medicine soon.  It will get very sore and you will be lucky if you can swallow water.  I had this 3 times before :(

The symptoms of strep throat are a fever, sore throat, headache and sometimes queezy stomach. You can get a sandpaper feeling rash on your torso and this is the forst sign of scarlet fever caused by the strep virus. If you have a sore thoat and then start getting a runny nose or cough(cold symptoms), then you probably just have pharyngitis which is a sore throat associated with a cold virus. The only way to know for sure is a throat culture. Good luck!

Actually you have an infection.  That's what puss is.  If your throat or tonsils are coated with "white stuff" or "puss" then you more than likely have strep throat which requires antibiotics right away.  That will get rid of the infection.

I get these sore throats every now and again. Every time I go to the doctors and they do a culture it is the same thing negative. I suggest ice cream and Popsicles or some soda or something. I like ginger ale for these types of things.

There are many reasons your throat could be sore. It may be acid reflux. Taking Pepcid AC "may" alleviate it.\nMaybe you're sleeping under a fan? Try turning it off.\nMaybe the air in your home is too dry & you need to run a humidifier.\nMaybe you have post nasal drip & need to try a sinus med.\nGo buy something called Kefir. It's a drinkable yogurt. 9 X more potent that yogurt, & a hint more tart. It boosts the immune system. You can also try some goldenseal/echinacea.\nGood luck. Hopefully, something will ring a bell...

A sore throat shouldn't be going on for this long. If you have not used any type of medication already to soothe it, one thing you can do is gargle with salt water. It would be best to get to your doctor to see what's going on.

have u ever been checked for allergies. allergies can sometimes cause sore throats. is is a strep? i think the rule of thumb is if u have 4 streps in one year they take it out. anyway if it is allergies it won't do any good to remove the tonsils because your throat would still hurt. \n\ni suffer from allergies and my main symptom is a sore throat. i have not had tonsils for  over 10 years now and i still get the sore throat.

You could have Strep throat, Mononucleosis, or several other things going on.  You need to see a doctor in case you need antibiotics!

You are most likely getting the sore throat from nasal drainage.  Do you have allergies?  Maybe there is a time in the month that the allergens are more prone to.  Which can just be causing slight sinus issues.  The mucus in your nose is draining by going down the back of your throat.  This is a major irritant for it.  Try some sinus medicine or talk to your doctor to see if they can do an allergy test if you havent figured out what you are allergic to.

It could be.  Could be from overuse, too.  You could also have an independent reason for the sore throat, such as strep throat or a viral infection.

Look at your throat in a well-lighted mirror.  If your tonsils look swollen or have white patches, definitely get it checked out.  You should also get it checked out if you are having difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).\n\nIt could just be nasal drainage.  Try sleeping with a humidifier tonight and drink lots of tea.  If it is still sore in a day or two with no new symptoms, then you may want to see your doctor.

Drink lots of cool/cold fluids and use a humidifier, especially during sleep.  Use throat lozenges and gargle with a salt water solution....if the sore throat persists, see a doctor.  Anitbiotics and in some cases steroids may be needed.  Most sore throats respond to antibiotics, however there is a disease called epiglottitis that will need immediate intervention with steroids.

Sore throat, white spots on the back of your throat when you look in your mouth, and fatigue.  You should go to your doctor for a blood test to be sure.
