I had an appointment with the nurse practitioner yesterday for a very sore throat. I can't eat or drink without a lot of pain, even breathing through my mouth hurts.
The nurse said my throat was very inflamed with yellow spots but because my temp was 36 I didn't need antibiotics.
The thing is I very rarely get a fever, even when I've had a raging chest infection needing steroids. My normal temperature is 37.5 and when I'm ill it tends to drop to 36.5 or less. I tried to tell the nurse this but my throat hurts to talk and she wouldn't listen.
I've hardly slept the last two nights because my throat hurts so much and it s swollen it feels like I'm choking. TMI alert but it even hurts to swallow spit so sometimes I've had to spit into a tissue and this morning there's streaks of blood in it.
Would ibu to try and see a gp today even though I saw the nurse yesterday?
