A member asked:

Hi, my gp diagnosed throat infection is now getting worse and i can barely turn my neck due to the pain. should i go to hospital? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A doctor can check: If one has a bacterial infection like strep throat, he will need treatment with antibiotics. If he is worse, such as having more pain, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, or too much cough, then it is hard to tell what is going on without another exam. That means seeing a doctor again (Emergency Room or primary doctor). Bad things like a big tonsillar abscess or a neck abscess can happen.
