2 day fever and sore throat high risk for endocarditis due to congenital heart defect it is saturday when should i see a dr.?

ASAP: You should do this fairly quickly because endocarditis can damage heart valves and other tissues in the body (through embolization) if it is present. Your doctor, if they suspect endocarditis will obtain blood cultures, and go from there. Call your doctor's office and see what they recommend. Or go to an er. Good luck.

No: Fever and sore throat are not risk factors for endocarditis. See your doctor for the fever and sore throat.
