Hi I am 54 travel the country extensively and recently developed a sore throat that was initially limited to the right side of my throat only. I do not see any pus or exudate. I have been treated with azithromycin ( Z pack) and Claritin D. I felt terrible for 3 days then 4th day was better but now I am experiencing severe sore throat again this time on both sides. My sub jaw glandes are swollen. Difficult to swallow but I am staying hydrated with just water. Help
