Flu+sore throat

2017-09-20 13:29:37
Got a soar throat (irritation keeps increasing/ decreasing) slight swelling feeling. Fever seems to have gone down in a day. Fatigue and slight nausea on and off . Any medicine to take ? Also I want to go for my CT scan +blood tests this Friday. You think I should wait for the flu to recover completely ?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days. You should wait for a week before undergoing CT scan and other tests
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
