Sore throat after test

2 replies

I've done a test today and my throat was a little sore afterwards but has got worse over the last couple of hours. Has anyone had this? I'm testing on the advice of my GP as my asthma is playing up again so I have yet another cough and yet another course of steroids and an even higher dose steroid inhaler. Joy. This is my 4th episode in 11 months and I'm a bit fed up so a sore throat adds another layer of discomfort and feeling grotty.
I don't have tonsils so that might make a difference as less obvious where to swab and I might have been over zealous in reaching 🤢

My throat was quite sore for about 24hrs. Reckoned it was just upset from getting poked at.

This was my experience with my first Covid test, but subsequent ones have been alright. I too have no tonsils.
