Q: sore throat with femara?

I have been on femara for one week for hormone receptive breast cancer. Today I have a severe sore throat with redness. Could this be a side effect from the femara? thanks...jodi

thank you for your reply. I am trying to get into my primary dr. but he hasn't called back. I would like to first see if it is and infection  before bothering my onchologist. I have been exposed to sick grandkids for weeks and they have had a sore throat also. At least I like to know the possibilities out there so I can be on alert for problems. Hope fully it is not the femara! I will  post it if is though. Did anyone else have a sore throat with taking femara??
