I have a persistent sore throat. It hurts when I talk and swallow or eat, although it is not unbearable. I do not have a cough, fatigue or fever and do have a history of tonsillitis but it has been a while since they flared. Could this be early COVID?

Suddenly my left side of throat sore and difficult to swallow. I don't have fever though. I suspect that I got tonsillitis. What suddenly it happens to me, doctor? And if it is tonsillitis, does gurgling salt water effective?

Sore throat, doc says not tonsillitis 'yet'. Swollen and very dry tonsils. Water will not moisten them. Every time I swallow I want to gag.

I have white patches on my tonsils, fever, stomach pain and fatigue. My doctor said tonsillitis but I have no sore throat. Could this be a bad sign?
