Im 17..And ive been having constant sore
throats for the past few months
it seems like every couple of weeks im
stuck with another unbarable sore throat.
I had strep throat last month, and I went
to the dr's today and was told I have
another throat infection. I sing quite
regularly, but however I dont believe this
is the cause, although its been greatly
affected :(
ppl have been telling me to maybe I need
to get my tonsils removed, but the dr has
never mentioned anything about me having
tonsil issues.
A pounding heading always tags along with
the sore throat
can anyone help *puppy dog eyes*

Welcome! Sorry to hear of your problem
about your throat! Are you seeing an
specialist such as an ent(ear, nose and
throat) Dr., maybe you might need a second
opinion, I am no dr if you feel week and
tired a lot you could also have
mononucleosis(sp), their are also a lot of
immune situations going on, bugs,
viruseses(sp), allergies and it could be
your tonsils. I do know that when you
have chronic sore throats you do need zinc
and it is easy to become dehydrated
because it is too difficult to swallow
with your throat being irriitated. My
opinion is that you do need to see a
specialist until the problem is resolved.
Also gargling lightly with salt water can
help sometimes too. You also might check
and see what the health food/herb shop and
see what they reccommend too.
Good luck!
Keep us posted on what you find out!
