Brief Answer: As below: Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for your query. 1. I have had a look at the images. It seems to be a severe post nasal drip. 2. Since you are expecting bad weather and have a history of exposure to strep throat, it would be prudent to take a course of antibiotics and anti-allergic, mucolytics. Add a medicated gargle. Keep yourself warm and well hydrated. 3. If a throat swab is possible, it should be done before the medication is started. I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them. Regards.
