Hi Dr. Rynne, I have had a sore throat on and off for the last 2 weeks .It started as a sore throat and cold and I really don t have a cold now but my throat is really sore to swallow . From what I can see my tounge looks whiter than usual . Should I seek medical care ?l
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The sore throat can be because of the bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. The white tongue can be because of the improper tongue cleaning, it can be the food debris. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
