My wife has been sick for over a week with high fever and sore throat but not enough to get hospitalised.
The GP we usually visit seems to be stumped and would just offer her advice and antibiotics that don't seem to kick in.
Anyone here can recommend one that is good?

I do not understand, high fever is enough to justify an Emergency.
Ask the GP to recommend another doctor.
It is hay fever season and Perth has the highest pollen count in the world.
Antibiotics may not be the solution. Usually prescribed in Singapore because a doctor is no good if he does not prescribe antibiotics.
