Can you tell visually if your sore throat is viral or bacterial?
I've had a sore throat for over a week now and no hot drinks, paracetamol etc are helping it.
The back of my throat is red and very veiny (not like that usually) and I have reddy/orange spots at the back of my throat.
I also have a white coating on my tongue which isn't normally there.
Don't want to waste an appointment if its just a virus .
TIA
