Sore Throat, Difficulty In Swallowing. Strep Infection. Consult Doctor?
Hi there, my name is Jeanette. I have had a very sore throat for 3 days, there are no other symptoms.
I am having difficulty in swallowing as it is so painful. On appearance, the back of my throat is very red.
I am travelling and I may have to consult a Doctor tomorrow. Do you think it may be a Strep. infection? and
Do you think my immune system will fight against it.
Thank you Jeanette.

IT CAN BE STAPHINFECTION OR VIRAL INFECTION OR SINUS INFECTION CAUSING THIS
AS PER HISTORY YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIGHT
YOU WILL NEED ANTIBIOTIC ANALGESICS ANTI ALLERGICS LOCAL ANTISEPTIC MOUTH WASHES
BUT GET CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR TO FIND EXACT CAUSE
