Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a sore throat for two days now and every afternoon, I feel cold. Last night I had a slight fever. I am using Bactidol to gargle twice a day and paracetamol and so far it helps. It soothes my throat and I think the pain lessens. But this morning, my throat is still painful, I am having a hard time swallowing and eating. I am unable to report to work last night because I am not feeling well. I might need a prescription to buy medicines and also need a med certificate.
