Good news: not strep.
Bad news: objectively nasty-looking viral sore throat.
I was running a fever in the doctor's office and dripping sweat on everything, so at least I didn't have my usual problem of looking just fine while trying to convince medical personnel that I really feel bad, but there's nothing to do but drink lots of fluids and try not to talk in between my panels. I am neither coughing nor sneezing, so I'm not a danger to my fellow con-goers so long as I don't share food with them, but man, this is not what I wanted for Arisia this year.

I am so sorry!
My ENT recommended sinus irrigation to keep post-nasal drip from making it worse, and that plus salt water gargling seems to be helping a bit.
I have been rinsing my sinuses daily for the last fourteen years, but I hadn't been gargling with salt water for this latest go-round and I don't see how it can hurt. Appreciated.
I hope you feel better very soon!
Thank you and likewise!
