I've had such a rough time with my throat these past ten days. I haven't been eating or drinking anything cold or sour, and I've tried every home remedy I can think ofturmeric milk, mullethi, ginger-pepper tea, even gargling with salt. Plus, I've been taking antibiotics and some ayurvedic syrup called Joshina. Still, no improvement at all. What else can I do? Could I be missing something?

I've been dealing with on-and-off fevers for about a month now, along with mucus and a sore throat. Just last week, I noticed these yellow blister-like spots in my throat, about the size of half a penny, and my throat's pink color is changing to this yellowish white. I work around kids, so I'm always around a lot of germs. The doctor mentioned a respiratory infection last week but didn't run any tests and prescribed amoxicillin. It's been six days and things seem to be getting worse. Do you have any idea what this might be?
