Sore throat: While you may have strep throat or just a viral infection, an exam and a throat culture is in order, but also a test for mono. If strep, do not take the chance of a worsening infection or the sequelae of untreated infection on heart, joints, skin and brain, rare but does occur. See your doctor.
