After 2 mos, I would ask for a referral to an ear nose and throat specialist. My son's ENT doctor discovered the unexplained throat and nose problems were actually caused by an undiagnosed EAR problem.

Yes, it is a worry and you should for the simple reason that you say your good doctor prescribed a medicine with the hope of a cure but it did not-- You may consider having a second opinion. Also there are specific specialists in different fields so I think you could get a referral from your first doctor and recommend you to see a throat specialist.

Call your doctor back and follow up -
he would want to know what he gave you didn't help your throat and do some more tests or refer you to a specialist.
It could just be something simple but better to be safe then sorry, and get you out of "annoying" throat things.
Feel better. Try some really warm (not hot) salt rinses
drink tea with honey/lemon and use some honey throat cough drops. Drink lots of clear liquids and rest.

It is almost impossible to live with tinnitus but you don't have to. If you are hearing the noises, whether all the time or intermittently, you must seek treatment immediately. But sadly, conventional treatments only treat the symptoms of tinnitus and may provide temporary relief at best.
The only way you could ever get rid of your tinnitus for good is by following the holistic approach to healing. By using a multidimensional treatment for tinnitus, we are tackling all tinnitus causative factors and eliminating these triggering elements from the root. This is the only path for permanent freedom from tinnitus.
