Have Dr. do a throat culture and sensitivity with a swab and get in those sore areas with the swab. Then they call tell for sure what infection is exactly and you can get the right medicine.. With the history of bleeding, should be no problem to culture. damn HMOs.

Also try to save a good lugey back for office visit and let them get a sputum sample.

See you in followup after visit here. Will make appointment to meet in a week for further followup. You now have a private nurse for this disease only! No charge.
LolaGal Reviewed by LolaGal on . Anyone a doctor? Know Throat Infections? OK so here is the story About two months ago I had a throat infection, which turned into a bad cold. Felt like I had a lump of phlegm in my throat that I couldn't get out. So I went to the doctor, and she prescribed Amoxicillan(sp?). This took the throat pain away immediately..I kept taking it for a few days(was supposed to take 3 a day for 10 days)..but I stopped short of finishing them. A few days ago I felt the same symptoms return...bad sore throat, feels like there is that lump there. Rating: 5
