Last Tuesday afternoon I started to have a bit of a sore throat, then on Wednesday - Friday I was home sick with a very high fever, sore throat, headaches, etc.
I went to the doctor, got antibiotics and just rested. I got a little better but would still have a fever at the end of the day.
Yesterday I went back to the doctor and she basically said I had to let things run their course. At that point I was mostly dealing with fever/headaches as well as drainage and a cough but my sore throat was gone.
Today my sore throat is back and it's weird. It's not just irritation really, but it's more like pressure in my throat and painful pressure whenever I swallow or talk or press on my throat in that specific area. It's kind of like the feeling of having a lump in your throat, but more painful and I'm pretty sure it's not anxiety related.
Of course I googled and all sorts of scary things came up so now I'm freaking out a bit.
Has anyone had this before? If it persists I'll probably go back to the doctor again tomorrow or Friday but this is just such an odd symptom and I'm really nervous it's something super sinister.
