Q: i have sore throat for 4 days now and it is worse when i wake up in the morning, no fever just a little tired and no white spots in my throat, can this be bacterial meningitis?

: I wonder if you are asking whether you are experiencing bacterial tonsillitis, which can easily be ruled in or out at your doctor's office. Without experiencing headache, chance of bacterial meningitis is very remote.
