A member asked:
I have a sore throat but don't feel sick should i stay home from school?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: But start drinking more fluids, avoid exertion, avoid extracurricular activities next few days. If sore throat gets worse and you develop cough , congestion, fever then see your doctor. Most sore throats are of viral etiology and self limited , they get better without any medication .Take it easy and watch.
