What Causes Sore Throat?

Hello... I have a question about my skin... I am going to see my PCP on Monday right away to follow up... but I just noticed that my skin started to gradually get more and more itchy and rashy over the last couple days and may or may not be associated with a scratchy/sore throat I ve had for a while.... my research is to see what things I could do between now and the time I see my PCP.. like possibly identifying a small list of things to perhaps get it under control until Monday.... obviously if it is too bad an ER visit will happen...

Hello,

Site throat may be due to viral infection, or bacterial infection by a group a hemolytic streptococcus. Other many causes for it but in case of viral you may also get a fever, and rash.

So use salt water gargling and water vapor inhalation thrice a day for five days. Avoid cool'drinks and freeze water. Use tablet alday dc twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
