Er 3 days ago with temp of 103. ran tests. said it wasn't strep or pneumonia, maybe virus. since ive had a very sore throat when i swallow and cough?

Recheck: A temperature that high needs to be reevaluated. Another throat exam would also be important. Its important to have another exam despite being seen 3 days ago. Did they run a strep culture? Please get reseen at the same place. Cheers.
