So I've had a few back to back illnesses - colds, and all.
Most recently, about 3 weeks ago I had Strep throat - my GP suspected it - they didn't take a swap though. They just prescribed me antibiotics and it got better by the week.
Before that, a few weeks before I had a cold with a cough.
Now, I've got another sore throat, I've got a my tonsils on one side being swollen and with some white exudate on it. It's a little worrying that if I had strep throat a few weeks ago, that I may have it again? I have a little bit of a cough.
Or would this be viral?
Just a little out of it because of these back to back infections - not sure if it's me being exhausted and stressed which is suppressing my immune system or whether something sinister is going on... Or worried that I've got a resistant bacteria :(
