Agree with Dr. F: Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in ZA. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.

My throat was really sore a few weeks ago and I thought it was COVID, I tested and it wasnt. Could it be that due to not drinking antibiotics for my tonsillitis it made it come back?
