Hi,

i started with a dry cough over the last several days and it progressively got worse, recently I have developed increasing pain in the back of my throat and noticeably in my mouth.  I decided to examine my mouth and noticed dark red spots along my uvula and palatine tonsils and the oropharynx, I assumed it was a virus infection as I saw no deposits on these areas , so I have tried over the counter meds to try to deal with this, but so far no luck, actually feel I'm getting worse. I then visited the ENT Doctor who I was quite surprised with as they only spent half a minute literally examining me, not kidding !! They simply depressed my tongue and told me to open wide and had a " quick" look , then diagnosed me with a viral infection, is it me or should she have examined me in more detail, I left quite frustrated as I was also a paying patient!!

Anyway, she advised me symptomatic tretament but I've been doing that for a while and I tried to explain that to her without sucess. Now I can barely eat due to pain on swallowing , loosing a little weight, and now the pain has radiated to both of my ears, I feel as if my mouth and ears are on constant Fire !! 


can an anyone advise me if I should get a reevaluation ? 

or what time of over the counter meds or home remedies that would help me with my recovery :(

Thank
