Suggest Remedies For Sore Throat And Swollen Tonsils
Question: I have had a sore throat since Monday. I got caught in the rain and then I woke up the next day with a sore throat. However now my throat is sore and my left tonsil is swollen both tonsils have white stuff on it that had tried to scrape off and it was scraped off but it would come back the very next day. I don't have a fever or any stomach problems. So what is the issue?
Brief Answer:
Hello. This has all the signs of a strep throat
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Even without a fever, this sounds like strep throat and you need a course of antibiotics for it since, untreated, it can lead to rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart valve disease. You need to see a doctor about it.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
