A member asked:

Woke up with sore throat with red spots, runny nose, green mucus with cough or just hacked up. no fever. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral URI?: Without seeing and examining you it is impossible to say what this is, but based upon the description you provided it is not unlikely that this is a viral illness. You cannot exclude bacterial (almost entirely Grp A Strep) pharyngitis or allergies without a full assessment. Hope you are better soon.
