Question
I had a fever a few days ago and it subsided on its own, but I’ve been experiencing persistent throat pain ever since. Could this be H7N9? I’ve seen a doctor and been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, but the symptoms haven’t improved after taking medication. I hope to get confirmation if it’s H7N9 and receive advice on treating the throat pain.
Answer
Diagnosing H7N9 requires a series of tests, including blood tests such as the rheumatoid panel (including rheumatoid factor, CRP, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), which are significant for diagnosing rheumatoid and rheumatoid-like diseases. I recommend seeking a doctor’s professional diagnosis and undergoing relevant tests to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
