Scratchy Throat And Itchy Ears. Histroy Of Contact With Person With Tonsilitis. Advice
Hello,
I am concerned about a scratchy throat that won't go away. My co-worke recently had tonsillitis. As a result, I think i developed swollen tonsils/taste buds from contact with him while at work. The tonsils and taste buds are no longer swollen but my scratchy throat persists. I have been taking tea, orange juice and fluids but to no avail, even though I am feeling a bit better. I am wondering if it could me more serious than expected. My ears also feel itchy. Please advise
