Anxiety seems to be the connecting link, in a matter of 12 h from taking pictures of your stool to taking pictures of your throat and worrying about getting an infection through your phone that is not possible. Hands hygiene remains critical otherwise and seeing your doc, ideally in person would be best in trying to solve your multiple symptoms.
