I have had an EXTREMELY sore throat since Monday (August 20th) and have been to the doctor's 3 times now. Everytime I swallow it feels like glass is tearing the back of my throat, the corners of my lips are sore and cracked, I have several ulcers (both on my lips and on my tongue), I have white spots on the roof of my mouth and a few right near my tonsils, my throat and tonsils are VERY red and inflamed and a few zits around my mouth. I have been told by the hospital and my GP that I do not have tonsilltis, but a severe pharyngitis. Is there anyone who can recommend anything to relieve the pain? I am currently drinking bucket loads of water, taking ibuprofen, sucking throat drops and eating milk pops, but would appreciate any other ideas... as it's like sharp glass everytime I swallow! :-(
