Hi everyone,

Feeling really nervous. I've had a sore throat for the last 3-4 days. It's on the left side only and it is very painful when swallowing.

What I am nervous about is that this is my ONLY symptom. I otherwise feel fine.

I wouldn't be worrying myself if I had a runny hose, headache, congestion etc. as I would just put it down to a bug / the common cold. But is it likely to be more sinister if it is JUST a sore throat?

So grateful for any advice or reassurance.
