Who you’ll see in Cobham
About sore throat & tonsillitis
A GP appointment in Cobham covers your throat, tonsils and history, by video or in person, with the FeverPAIN score guiding whether antibiotics would help. Book if your sore throat has lasted over a week, there's a fever above 38°C, swollen tonsils with white patches, or you're struggling to swallow liquids. Where bacterial tonsillitis is likely, treatment is arranged with your pharmacy the same day. Full detail is on /conditions/sore-throat-tonsillitis/.
About sore throats and tonsillitis
A sore throat describes soreness, pain or irritation in the throat, commonly from a viral infection such as a cold. When it's the tonsils specifically that become inflamed, it's called tonsillitis, which can bring severe throat pain, red and swollen tonsils (sometimes with white patches), difficulty swallowing and a high temperature. Most cases of either are viral and settle within a week without antibiotics.
What happens in the appointment
Seeing a GP in Cobham means a throat and tonsil review, by video or in clinic, scored using FeverPAIN.
