What Can Cause Prolonged Sore Throat Along With An Infected Toe?
I had a sore throat starting about 45 days ago. I Have also had an infected toe on my right foot for about two months. I took two rounds of anti biotics that did not get rid of my toe infection. A biopsy of th bone marrow in my toe revealed nothing. I was then prescribed ciprofloxin to get rid of the toe infection. It is better but still a little red. Last, I am having pain at my TMJ that also radiates to my chin and if bad enough can cause my ears to ache. In addition, I feel tired during the late afternoon and my skin feels cold even though it is approx. 75 degrees in the house. In short, I feel fatigue from about three in the afternoon on and I do not feel well at night. Mornings seem to be ok. Oh, my concentration was just not that good today at work.

Hi,
Prolonged sore throat may be due to immunosupressed state or gastroesophageal reflux disease or chronic allergies or post nasal drip or polyps etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Non healing toe infection means please check for any vascular insufficiency to the lower limb or nerve damage or osteomyelitis to toe.
You may send culture of the pus and sensitivity. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
Use tablet Amoxiclav twice a day for five days for sore throat and toe infection. Check blood sugar levels and color dopplor of lower limb. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
