Yes: Fbever ? See your MD or urgent care ASAP to figure this out and begin treatment. Meantime -- keep hydrated, take ibuprofen or alleve, and gargle with warm salt water (1tsp salt/8-10 oz water). Good Luck.

See your PCP: If you've had the flu for 2 weeks and then get worse, call your doctor. These symptoms may indicate a secondary or bacterial infection and visit to your PCP is warranted.

R/O TONSILITIS: LATYNGITIS and recurrent sore throats can cause tonsillitis . You need to be examined and have a throat culture. If that is negative then blood work needs to be done to evaluate for other issues, especially H. pylori. It is the ulcer causing bacteria that can cause halitosis//Gerd as well as laryngitis.. Make sure to brush and floss teeth 3x/dy. Also use a specially designed tongue scraper
