Throat pain lasting a month despite antibiotics needs proper examination rather than repeated medicines. Ongoing pain with swallowing and night cough may be due to chronic tonsil inflammation, allergy, or acid reflux. Vertigo is unlikely to be directly related and should be assessed separately. Please consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and targeted treatment.

Persistent throat pain around the tonsils lasting a month despite two courses of antibiotics, along with pain swallowing, dry cough, and vertigo, requires further evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.

🩺 Symptoms and Concerns

  • Persistent throat pain and difficulty swallowing after antibiotics suggest the infection or inflammation may not be fully resolved or could be due to another cause such as chronic tonsillitis, abscess, or non-infectious conditions.
  • Dry cough at night and vertigo are additional symptoms that need assessment to rule out related complications or other underlying issues.

⚕️ Next Steps

  • See an ENT specialist promptly for a thorough examination, which may include throat inspection, possible imaging, or throat swab cultures to identify resistant or atypical infections.
  • Inform the specialist about your allergies to sulpha drugs and erythromycin to avoid these antibiotics in future treatments.
  • Avoid self-medicating further with antibiotics without specialist guidance to prevent resistance or side effects.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

  • If you develop high fever, severe difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling in the neck, or worsening vertigo, seek emergency care immediately.
