Speaking to a general physician at a private hospital, he says 80 per cent of patients who came for consultation to him in the past 45 days were identified to have pharyngitis. Furthermore, he adds that patients steps into the doctor’s clinic only after the disease reaches its second stage which may show symptoms like very high fever and bad cough.
