Throat infection

Hi everyone,

I just wanted a little advice here. I'm not a doctor but I think mine was wrong this time around. I seem to get throat infections every few months, and I am usually prescribed some anti-biotics and it's gone in two days or less. My doctor gave me lots of attitude and said to me "You came to a doctor with nothing more than a sore throat?!" and suggested pain killers and bed rest.

Tomorrow will be my seventh day and it only seems to be getting worse as today my ears started becoming blocked. I've got auditions and performances coming up and I haven't played in 6 days. I'm also in the middle of an Honours thesis. This is major downtime at the wrong time of the year.

Should I get a second opinion from another doctor? The first told me anti-biotics won't work but they seem to have done exceedingly well in the past. Anything I can do to make this go away faster? I seem to be doing everything right - a special gargle, multi-vitamins, sleep, plenty of water... I'm going insane, I just want to be back in the action!

All advice greatly appreciated!
