Sore throat/voice box for 10 days

I’ve had a sore throat for nearly two weeks. Instead of being in the tonsil area which where I usually get a sore throat, it’s my whole voice box that is very sore when I swallow. I’ve never had a sore throat so low down before. If I touch my neck in this area it feels tender. I have no other symptoms at all. No cough, lost voice, fever, no unusual tiredness. I thought it was clearing up yesterday as I didn’t feel it much but suddenly this afternoon it’s come back with a vengeance and I’m wincing when I swallow. Strepsils etc do absolutely nothing. Does this sound like a normal viral infection or do I need the GP?

Hi

This sounds very similar to what I have just had. Couldn't speak for 4 days but was croaky for much longer. The illness seemed to keep coming and going. My friend has it now and she is in her third week of it. Nasty virus!

Hope you feel better soon.
