A member asked:

Night sweats and sore throat. doc said viral. its been three weeks. no feaver or a lot of coughing. only hurts when i try to swallow. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Revisit: Time to go back for another appointment as most viral infections are improved after 3 weeks. May not even be an infection at all, rather asthma or allergies or heartburn are possibilities.
