Sore throat only - extreme sleep debt...viral or bacterial?!
Question: Sore throat only - extreme sleep debt...viral or bacterial?
My son is sick with a chest cold from what it seems, I've been up with him for the past few nights getting between 2-5 hours a sleep a night. I am soo tired and my throat hurts a lot, but it doesn't really look reddened or swollen in the mirror. I can hardly talk.. I have a tad of a dryer cough with a tiny bit of mucus moving down to the top of my lungs. No fever. Do you think this sounds viral or bacterial?

You need to gargle with warm salt water several times a day to clear this up...this is more of a bacterial..=)
Definitely Viral! :(
