cough for 3 weeks now another sore throat??!

[sqm1986]

Hello, 3 weeks ago exactly, I felt a scratch throat all day, that night I got chills fever and stuff nose. Next day I stayed home and rested. Next day  I started coughing could hardly speak and runny nose, sneezing.  At day 5 of not speaking, etc I went to the doctor and he gave me a Z-Pack which I finished. A few days went by and the sore throat subsided, I was left with post nasal drip, itchy throat, cough and a congestion for another week. Then everything subsided except the cough. Here I am at the 3 week mark and though the cough has subsided ( I still cough occasionally, dry non-productive like before) my throat is super dry and the itch in the back of the throat is worse, I check in the mirror and see white patches in the back of my throat! not good.. What is going on?? I have never been sick this long. I do not know if this is relevant but I also have a dry itchy rash on the back of my neck been there a few months and a little on my right arm, wont go away with lotion, oil, balms. I am not sure what is going on here but I need help please. never in my life have I had a cold for 3 weeks straight. I am 29 female had a tonsillectomy about 4 years ago.

could be pnemonia but sounds like strep

I think you should go back to your doctor to have the white patches checked. You have the symptoms of allergies and infection but to be certain, you need expert medical advice. If you are not satisfied with your current doctor then look for new one.
