Throat Pain, Difficulty Sleeping. Prescribed Amoxicillin For Yellow Pus. What Should We Do?

Hi, I am talking to you on the behalf of my mother. she has this pain in her throat even while not swallowing , its hard for her to get any sleep during the night and she can feel it move from one side to another and move down. she has seen 2 doctors already, one said shes fine and to guggle on paracetamol and the other said to take amoxcilin because he sees yellow puss (as he said). its been six days and she isnt getting any better. I keep asking for a ultrasound or endosopy test but no one is listening to me. what should we do?

HI

I have gone through your query regarding pain in throat of your mother, as you said that your mother had consulted two doctors and prescribed medicine Amoxicillin is not helping.

Considering all aspect of your complain I think till now it is not clear weather she has problem in her tonsils, base of tongue, palate, walls of pharynx etc. I would like to advice you to please consult an E.N.T.specialist he will after doing thorough clinical examination may reach to correct diagnosis than after treatment will be possible.
