Bacterial throat infection in Satellite Beach

14:17 Jul 26 2016 Satellite Beach, Brevard County, Florida, 32937, USA

Description

I went surfing Friday 7/22 near PAFB. I came home and took a nap, when I woke I had a bad sore throat. Over the weekend it became severe with fever and I almost couldn't swallow. I ended up in urgent care and was diagnosed with bacterial throat infection. Sent home with a z pack and over the next couple of days. I slowly am getting better. I am normally a very healthy person and have not been around anyone iill lately.
