Hello, Andrew. What’s the matter? Well, I’m here for two reasons. These last few days I have had a very sore throat. I can hardly swallow and I have had high fevers. Let me take a look at your throat. Open please. It looks like a bad throat infection. I am going to prescribe antibiotics. You will have to take the pills for 7 days. You should take one pill every 8 hours. Please don’t forget to take them. Also you must finish the full 7 day treatment. If you don’t, you might not get rid of the infection and it could come back. I have been having a lot of pain in my left knee lately. Have you been doing any sort of exercise? Yes, I started running about 2 months ago. I have been running between 5 and 10 km a day. Did you fall or do any harsh movement recently? No, that’s what is so strange . On the side of my knee… here. Let me move your leg around and see….does this hurt? And does it hurt if I bend your knee like this? Not so much, just a little. It looks like a ligament injury. You should rest your knee for about a week. Put ice pads on it a few times a day and wear this knee brace when you walk. Okay. I wanted to run in a 10 kilometer race in about 6 weeks. Should I do it? I wouldn’t put too much pressure on your knee. Make an appointment for about 2 weeks from now and we’ll see how it looks. Introducción
