I have a huge sore throat and I have difficulty swallowing because the pressure is so strong. I also have a headache and an earache. What to do?

Hello Ma'am,

In such a situation, you may well need a medical consultation (to determine the focus of the infection and obtain a prescription if the doctor deems that it is not a virus but a bacterium that is the cause).

To confirm what I'm saying, calculate your Centor score using the points listed on page 2 of the following document: https://www.inesss.qc.ca/fileadmin/doc/CDM/UsageOptimal/Guides-serieI/Guide-PharyngiteAmygdalite.pdf

What is your score?

I hope my advice was helpful.

Happy day,

Alexander
