A member asked:

I still have a bad sore throat i have appointment with dr tomorrow i wonder what is causing my sore throat and fever been sick over a week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked: Could be strep, mono, drainage, tonsillitis, acid reflux. Without a thorough exam it is very difficult to tell. See your doctor unless the pain is severe to an urgent care.
