Is a sore throat a good reason to go to the emergency room or can I wait for my scheduled medical appointment in 2 weeks?

If you have had a sore throat for 2 weeks and are experiencing difficulty swallowing and swollen glands, it is important to pay attention to other symptoms such as fever or warmth in the throat area. If you are experiencing a fever or warmth, it might be a sign of infection and you should consider seeking medical attention sooner rather than waiting for your scheduled appointment. If you do not have a fever or warmth in the throat area, you can try pain relief methods like ibuprofen and throat lozenges, as well as gargling with salt water to ease the discomfort. It's always better to be cautious when it comes to your health.
