has IV antibiotics or rocephin injections been mentioned?
I once had this NASTY throat infection(ran a 105 fever, couldn't swallow even water, severe severe pain) & NOTHING was working, I was on high doses of strong antibiotics- the kind where you can't eat for 2-3 hours before OR after you take em twice a day it's so irritating. Well long story short, my doctor gave me a rocephin injection(strong antibiotic, same family as Ceftin, only stronger) & at first I felt worse- I passed out cold right after the injection(it's really painful, many people can't take it) & for a while felt sicker but after about 2 days I finally saw improvement- something that hadn't been seen thew hole t ime. And i'm talking one NASTY infection, by the time I had gotten the shot it was already at the roof of my mouth- so it did a great job of halting it.
And I hear IV antibiotics are muchs tronger & you can use them at home.
Some things to talk to your ENT about.
