I have horrendous health anxiety and since Saturday I have had the most painful sore throat that hurts to swallow. It isn't a sharp pain it just feels dull. I am still eating and drinking - ibuprofen is the only thing that helps for a few hours.
I caught it off of my daughter and I took us both to the docs to get checked as she has had it longer than me and I wasn't sure if I could see white patches etc. We were told viral as our throats are angry red and we have colds too. I do think post nasal drip could be a contributing factor.
Should it have gotten better by now? I've never had a sore throat last this long. It woke me up last night and I got myself into a bit of a state it was strep and I am constantly looking in my mouth. Thank you
