I have to squirm to swallow. My throat is so painful and I don’t remember suffering from this kind of discomfort in the past. The pain keeps me awake at night. It also makes me feel like my whole body is now aching.
None of the over the counter medicines, mouth spray, lozenges, gargles, provided permanent relief.
I might be needing antibiotics instead and I didn’t bring some. I need a doctor’s prescription before I could get some from the pharmacy here.
The pain has worsened and I now have a hard time speaking.
I will go look for a doctor today to find out if this is just a bad case of tonsillitis or sore throat or something else.
Sounds like strep throat
