I've been dealing with a sore throat off and on for about 1.5 to 2 months now. Sometimes, it lasts for about 4 to 5 days with cold and fever happening every couple of weeks. I'm trying to manage it by gargling hot water regularly and I've avoided cold drinks and ice creams during this time. Can you offer any advice or suggest what might be going on?

Your recurring sore throat, accompanied by cold and fever, could be due to a lingering viral or bacterial infection, allergies, or environmental factors, and despite your efforts to manage symptoms, consider consulting an ENT specialist for a thorough examination, and potentially, a throat swab or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-allergic medications.
