Dry sore throat, might have fever

Dear Doctor,

I’ve went to nearby clinic on 11 March as I feel that I have sore throat. The dr then diagnose me with Pharyngitis and I also have family history of tonsil. I don’t have fever at that time but I feel I do have on off fever. The dr prescribed me with strepsils max, spray medicine and paracetamol.

I don’t cough but just feel my throat is very dry. I do drink plenty of warm water.

Until today morning, I just feel that my body is weak and suspected that I have mild fever with dry throat. Sometimes a pressure feel on my chest and I’m sweating.

I don’t went to overseas this year yet. I don’t have any close contact with confirm covid-19 patients. I already done the self assessment test and it says that I’ve minimal risk.
