A member asked:

Sore throat, painful to swallow. body aches all over and very fatigued?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Laryngitis: Inflammation of the larynx (throat). This can be viral, as in severe flu. It can also be bacterial like in Strep throat. If it doesn't begin to resolve in 5-10 days, consult with your dr. In the meantime, drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest. Over the counter flu/cold medications may be helpful

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?
