My throat started getting scratchy and nose started running and is slightly congested 2 days ago. last night my throat became sore, especially when i swallow and has white ulcer looking patches. my ear and throat are hurting more today than yesterday.

If running: a fever at or above 100.5 F, and if a cough develops, call your doctor for advice regarding testing and treatment. If unsure, call your doctor, regardless.
