General & Family Physician,  's  Response
You will have to undergo 2 tests, the first being called 'Throat Swab test with Culture & sensitivity of the causative organisms.' and the other test will be Hemogramme for the haemoglobin & your white cells, red cells, platelet counts. After you undergo the tests, you will get its report on 4th day, i.e. after 72 hours. Till that time you may begin with T. Azithromycin 500 mg once daily & gargling with antiseptic oral gargles solution.

An Eliza test to rule out possible HIV infection can be done, because you are not responding to antibiotics for 3 months.
