Viruses can cause sore throats and make you feel quite ill. Since viruses do not respond to antibiotics, your doctor correctly advised you to discontinue medication when your throat culture turned out to be negative for strep. Your impression that the medication was helping you may be the result of the fact that your virus infection was following its natural course and improving in spite of the antibiotic rather than because of it. While most viral sore throats get better in a few days without intervention, mononucleosis can last much longer. Rarely, a peritonsillar abscess can develop from a viral sore throat.
Peritonsillar abscesses do require antibiotic treatment.
If you're not getting better, you should see your doctor again. I have a 13 year old male client who has been diagnosed with it however, I've been unable to find information on the disease. In fact, I have a book that spells it one way in the index and another way in the text, but I believe the above spelling is correct. Hirschsprung's disease causes symptoms because a small segment of lower intestine lacks innnervation and therefore does not move. In the absence of normal intestinal movement, stool is not propelled forward down into the rectum.
