I have a very sore throat (difficulty swallowing), swollen glands under my throat, ear pain, and have had a fever for 48 hours. What should I do?

It is recommended to consult a doctor if you are experiencing severe throat pain, difficulty swallowing, swollen glands, ear pain, and have had a fever for 48 hours. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms and determine if antibiotics are necessary. If you are unsure, you can calculate a score using a specific document to help guide your decision. Additionally, some pharmacies offer throat cultures if needed.
