Having Sore Throat

I am a healthy software designer,46 years by age. I just came back home from a trip to UP and my throat is sore. This happened the last time I came back as well. I'm confused. I'm wondering if I have an allergy or if I'm actually going to get sick.

It might be due to tonsillitis which is happened due to change in place and water. Take a ENT consult and start treatemnt. Do warm salt water gargling atleast 2-3 times a day. Drink boiled and cooled water always.

It sounds like allergies. Anytime I go to Texas, I always end up having a sore throat. Try some Alkaseltzer.(forgive my spelling)

I wish that it is just a simple flu and not one of swine flu infection.

It would be better to see a doctor and find out what it is and treat it accordingly.

Also suggest you to avoid all crowded places and better not to go out till you are fine.
