Just a cold?

So on Tuesday i woke up with the worst sore throat ever and it lasted a full two days. Now today it's gone and i have a bit of a stuffy nose and a slight dry cough. I have NO appetite and just do not feel good. I don't think I've had a fever. My sister had bronchitis. Should I go to the doctor or just ride it out?

It is probably a virus. It will take 7 to 10 days for the body to kill it. If it goes on longer, see a doctor.

If you still feel unwell, then go and see your doctor.
You may have pharangitis.  The doctor will be able to listen to your chest to make sure that the infection has not spread to your lungs.

Best wishes.
