It is not all cases of Sore Throat that require antibiotics treatment since some sore throats are caused by viral infections. Having been on antibiotics treatment for a while without any improvement, it will be a good idea for you stop your current medications and see a doctor. Apart from inspecting your throat to specifically see whether your tonsils are enlarged or not, the doctor may also take a swap of your throat for Laboratory examination. The outcome of the examination will determine your ultimate treatment.
