Mild sore throat since 01/04 but i don’t feel the pain while eating & drinking, no cough and fever (36.9)
hello doctor, i am having mild sore throat since 01/04, went to normal clinic for check up, the doc gave antibiotic and medicine for sputum.
However, sore throat and sputum remains. I can’t say it’s really sore throat because i don’t feel the pain while eating & drinking. It’s just uncomfortable at the throat.
I checked my temp is 36.9C and i have no cough.
When i press the lower part of my rib cage, i can feel some pain there.
Please advise. Thank you
