A member asked:

Only sore throat for about a week. had other problems last week but now just sore throat. thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get tested: I recommend getting tested with a throat culture, cbc and differential cell count and a test for infectious mononucleosis. If these tests are unrevealing and sore throat persists, consult an Otolaryngologist for evaluation.
