Good evening ma'am,

In a situation like this, we need to calculate the modified Centor score (https://www.inesss.qc.ca/fileadmin/doc/CDM/UsageOptimal/Guides-serieI/Guide-PharyngiteAmygdalite.pdf, page 2).

If your score is 3 or higher, we need to consult.

If it is 2 or lower, you are already doing everything we need to do. In 5 to 7 days it will be over :)
