Good Morning. I Had A Cold That Seemed To Linger

default
Posted on Tue, 8 Jan 2019
Question: Good morning. i had a cold that seemed to linger for weeks. Mostly consisted of mild headache, sinus pressure and pain, sinus drainage, chest congestion and fatigue. Was thinking i was getting over it when yesterday, suddenly there was a pain in the back on the left side of my throat (only). Got worse overnight. A bit painful to swallow and there is a slightly swollen area with a white splotch on it. See attached picture. The only other symptoms i have (now that my congestion has eased up) is slight fatigue, low energy, feel a little cold, and a mild pain in my left ear. No sign of fever. Any ideas?
