Hi,
I'm a 19yr old medicsl student and i have been suffering from sore throat or pharyngitis from past 2.5 years.........i usually have acute episodes of infection which is indicated by yellowish sputumn and is cured by antibiotic therapy...usually Azithromycin or combined with cifixime.........i've shown to many doctors including my professors but they all come up with different diagnosis..........i had urticaria from my 4th grade to 9th grade and also am allegic to variety of substances including  food,dust etc.....now i,ve developed chronic congestion in my anterion wall oh oropharynx.........but my main worry is weather i'll develop resistance to Azithromycin and if i do what can i probably do?????

Have you tried stopping dairy?  Drink a milk substitute you aren't allergic to, like almond milk or flax milk, etc.  Avoid cheese in large amounts, other dairy, although reading labels is probably not necessary.  Try drinking green tea with mint.  

Many sinus infections are fungal instead of bacterial because you first kill the problem bacteria but the good bacteria too, so fungus takes over.
