My throat has been hurting for 6 months continuously, what should I do?

My throat has been hurting for half a year now and it is on and off. On and off in the sense most of the times it hurts really bad and and rarely I can barely feel it. It hurts to scream and sometimes my voice turns hoarse for some reason with me not doing anything and I have to clear it out to get my voice normal. And sometimes my right or left year get sharp pains for a few seconds and then it goes away. I have been telling myself to got the E.N.T , but I never have the time to go. I am busy constantly...I have been getting sick more often than I usually do and I feel that it isn't normal. I have been to the regular doctor, and they either say it is mono or allergies. But I know I have no allergies because I have recently got a test done. The next time I go to the doctors I will go to the E.N.T. But do you guys have any opinions what it might be causing this throat pain before I actually go to the doctor?

    The only suggestion I have is that you waste no more time and see a doctor it could be something serious.

    6 months is to long to let that type of ailment go so long. To guess what is causing it would be nothing more than a guess. Hope your are ok.

    I'm thinking of mono, it seems to fit. There's a type of mono which is chronic, maybe you've got that. Or maybe it's regular mono which is taking a bit longer, it can happen. To be sure, do the blood test, it doesn't take much time and in that way you'll know for sure if it is mononucleosis or not.

    Source(s): I've just had mono, I've got informed xD (and my throat still hurts when I swallow :x)
