Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat
i have bad sore throat and it is one of a few issues that i think are connected but would like to have help with determining how serious it may be. The few other issues are as follows i banged my leg just above the top of my foot (ankle height). That is not at all unusual for me. But later when i took a look at it it was bruised in a pattern that circled my entire ankle. then i also noticed swelling with what i thought could also be a bite of some sort. Then a type of rash like thing started up around the whole ankle as well.

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have sore throat and bruised leg due to injury . Well as far as sore throat is concerned it can occur due to viral as well as bacterial infection . If it is left untreated then the infection can spread to surrounding and create more complications like eustachian tube dysfunction , inner ear in infection and laryngitis . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialits without any delay for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antiviral or antibacterial drugs depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory or decongestants . For now do warm saline gargles several times a day . The bruise on the leg can be due to hematoma , insect bite or fracture . If it doesn't get better in 1-2 days then consult orthopedic surgeon for prope diagnosis . Doctor may order X-ray .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
