For the last 9 days I've been in agony with my throat. No fever, no cold to accompany. Just a dry cough. Went to the doctors Monday and she said though my throat was red nothing obvious, no fever etc. And nothing obvious on my tonsils. She gave me difflam spray to relieve it however still in complete agony eating and swallowing are horrendous. Painkillers work for a couple of hours then back to agony. I've laid off them a bit as don't like how many I'm taking but now where my throat is sore just under my jawline it's sore to touch that spot as well. It hasn't even eased over 9 days if anything got worse. Can anybody shed light?
