Common Cold or Strep Throat
I developed an irritated throat 3 days ago.. At first it was just a sore throat, but after a day I had a slightly runny nose and a cough. No other symptoms other than that, except for a little heaviness in the eye area. I have been taking home remedies like warm water, turmeric and steaming. I want to confirm whether it is a common cold or something else? Attaching a picture of my throat, where one side seems a little swollen.
PS- I had smoked for a while before the development of the sore throat.
Is my throat looking normal?
