Hello,
5 days ago I was visiting friends. It happened that we stood outside and talked for few hours while weather got windy and I was wearing thin cloth, I smoked couple of cigarettes and started to notice feeling of getting sick that evening, over next few days I felt scratching in my throat and little bit of weakness. 2 days ago I started to treat my sore throat with Dorithricin, Tetesept and drinking teas with honey. I locked myself inside my house and distanced myself from everyone regarding COVID-19 outbreak, even thought I live in a country (Georgia) where less that 35 confirmed cases are known and I have not had any contact with anyone who traveled recently abroad. Basically I am pretty sure this is sore throat and nothing more. My symptoms are scratchy sore throat, 4/10 pain and soreness level, weakness and feeling sick 3/10 , slight headache 3/10 (probably cause I am watching laptop screen whole day), sometimes neck sweats when I try to sleep, no fever (max I had during this 5 days was 37.1 rest is less that 36.9), no cough( 4-5 times a day), no sneezing (3-4 times a day), not feeling shortness of breath. Below is picture of my throat, I would like to ask you, how long does pharyngitis last usually and should I start using any other medication or just rest for next 5-10 days and see what happens?
