I've had a generally sore throat and glands since Tuesday, but didn't feel too ill, pain was okay with occasional paracetamol.
Yesterday and today, the pain has been worse and definitely at one side, I've no temp but feel shivery and off colour. Alternating paracetamol and aspirin every couple of hours but still quite painful to swallow.
I know that most sore throats are viral and clear up on their own and I don't feel ill enough for it to be tonsillitis, but this seems to have been going on a while and not really getting better. At what point do I need to see the gp?

Is there a way to differentiate between a viral and a bacterial sore throat?
