tonsillitis/pharyngitis
"The doctor I saw couldn't identify what was causing the excruciating pain in my throat when I swallowed but told me it was either Tonsillitis or Pharyngitis. The doctor gave me a 5 day course of Clarithromycin and It hasn't helped at all so far. I'm on day 3 of the course and the only time the pain goes away is when I take paracetamol. After an hour or two the pain of swallowing just comes but and I'm also getting a really stiff neck and a very dizzy head. This prescription isn't helping me at all."
