Sunburn And A Sore Throat, Is This Sun Poisoning ?
Hi, I am very fair-skinned and I got a pretty bad sunburn on Sunday that is still very painful. More importantly, however, last night (not quite 2 days after the initial burn) I started getting a sore throat and a swollen lymph node but only on the left side. Could this be sun poisoning? I have definitely felt a little colder than I should but that seems natural when the skin is burned that bad, not sure it qualifies as chills. Thanks so much! Evan
