I woke up the other morning with an extremely sore throat. Today my throat still hurts, my glands are swollen, I have extreme ear pain/pressure, sniffles, a cough, the list goes on
I hate taking medicine. I've been taking Vitamin C, drinking lots of fluids, and trying to get a lot of sleep.
I'm a substitute teacher covering a maternity leave right now and I refuse to miss school. Strep has been going around school but I always think I have strep, get tested, and never have it
At what point (if any) do you think I should see a doctor?
Any other tips so I can get better soon?? I very rarely get sick, and this is probably the worst I have ever felt.
