Hello,

i recently came down with a sore throat (yesterday) and progressively through the day I developed a fever. Last night, my fever was 102 but today it is rather normal at 98 and has remained normal. The sore throat has primarily became less sore, but the back of my throat has become swollen and I have developed something white on my tounge. The white stuff is extremely thin and it doesn't hurt at all. I only noticed it by looking in the mirror. I have a significant amount of mucus draining into my throat, but I have rather complex allergies and deal with some congestion pretty frequently. I am wondering if this is serious enough for me to go to the doctor. I have been taking tylenol cold and flu since last night, it has helped with the fever but not the sore throat. Also, could this be the symptom of anything worse than a normal cold.

Any guidance is appreciated.
