People have probably seen me post on other occassions about various things but I am mostly health anxiety free at this point. So, a quick rundown of the past month.
Oct 12th - 19th - Standard cold, sore throat, and a cough that lingered around till the 24th or so.
Oct 23rd - Nov 1st - Sore throat, pain when touching and moving tongue, went to doctors and was mistakingly told it was a "self limiting viral infection". Pain was switching sides.
Nov 1st - Nov 10th - Went back to docs after seeing pus on my tonsils, given antibiotics (10 day course) for tonsillitis.
NOV 11 - NOW - I am so confused, I still have a weird sore throat that is worse in the mornings and hurts when I swallow saliva, BUT it does not hurt when I am drinking water or eating food. Even swallowing saliva while laying on my front doesn't hurt anywhere near as much. The pain is very on and off,sometimes I can swallow 3 or 4 times with no pain and then it will hurt again. I still have a relatively blocked nose but its a lot better than before. Anyone have any clue what this could be? Anyone experienced anything simmilar. All in all I have had sore throat symptoms for like a month now pretty much and its got me a little worried into diseases of the immune system or throat... issues. Thanks guys!
Edit: It is worth mentioning that after the antibiotics I had 1 day of no sore throat at all, and then this kicked back in - however the pain is nothing like the tonsillitis I had at all (3/10 at max) and my glands went down and my tonsils cleared up.
