A member asked:

Gf has been very sick w/ cough, sore red throat w/ sores, & fever. now the pain is going into her chest & she can't breathe or swallow. what is wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral Pharyngitis: Andy, Your girlfriend probably has a viral pharyngitis. The mucous she is producing is draining into her throat and chest producing the symptoms. Viral infections usually get better in 5-7 days. Over the counter cough/ cold preps may help. If she does not get better, take her to her doctor. Hope this helps!
