Severe Sun Burn, Soreness, Swelling And Pus Oozing Through Throat, Cannot Avoid Working In Sun. Solution?
I was out in the sun two days in a row and got very bad sunburn . About a full day after which was last night I got all of the symptoms to sun poisoning except I have some type of throat infection now where my throat is very sore, swollen, and seems to ooze pus . I work out in the sun everyday and I can t take off of work. What is the best thing for me at this point?

Hi,Dyeshocker,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that along with sun burn you might have severe infection in the throat.
Go for antibiotic like Azithromycin for 3 days.
Do salt water gargle to clear your throat.
Take plenty of water.
Try to remain in the house,avoid sunlight exposure.
Apply sun cream if you go out.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Ok and bye.
