Is a sore throat a good reason to go to the emergency room or can I wait for my medical appointment in 2 weeks?

Hello! The first question to ask is: Do you have a temperature? Often fever is an indicator of infection that must be treated with antibiotics !!!! If yes, go see a doctor! If not, check for heat in the throat near the lymph nodes! It may also be a skin infection in the area of the lymph nodes! If all answers are NO, relieve with advil (if no allergy and no other rx), throat freezing tablets and gargle with water and salt! That's it! Have a good day!
