Throat pain: Get checked by your physician. It may be more than a "H e a d. C o l d" , especially since you have persistent symptoms. If you are feeling fatigued and glands swollen have your doctor check for strep and possibly Infectious Mononucleosis. There are simple in office tests your doctor can perform to rule out certain infections and come to a conclusion about your persistent symptoms . Wish you well.
