Hi all,

I've had a persistent sore throat for just over 6 weeks. It has been
accompanied by lumps in the back of my mouth, with mild earache and sore
glands in my neck. I just can't seem to shake it and it's starting to drive
me crazy. I've already had EBV and CMV several years ago.

I've been to two GPs. The first GP didn't take any tests and just hedged his
bets and put me on a 10 day course of Erythromycin (sp?) which didn't help.
The second GP has taken a throat swab, which I'll get the results of on
Monday.

Do any of you have any tips for shaking this thing, or have any of you had a
similar experience? I know these are fairly common symptoms for a variety of
conditions, but is there anything else that I should get tested for?

Many thanks,

Jamie
