Specializes in Pediatrics

Testing: Sore throat can be a symptom of many things. Covid, flu, colds and strep throat are just a few. See a Dr who can test you for various causes, and until you know what it is isolate yourself from others so that you do not spread any of them. Wear a mask if you need to go out and sanitize your hands frequenlty. Use acetaminophen for pain relief.
