A member asked:
Travelled to durban this past week, slept under aircon for 4 days. tonsils are feeling very sore when i swallow. in light of corona - should i get tested? no fever, no headache, no runny nose, eating fine - just tonsils that are sore when swallowing.

Sore tonsils: There is no cough which is classic. Would consider testing for strep. Gargle with salt water, elevate head of bed to avoid reflux. if worsens with cough fever then would consider corona testing
