Sore Throat - going to the doctor this morning.

Yesterday I started feeling a little tender in my throat but had no other real symptoms. Today I woke up and my neck is swollen and it's killing me to swallow. I also feel achy and run down. I'm not someone who goes to the doctor often but I figure swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of infection and I don't want to risk letting it go.
It seems everyone is sick lately...

Round of strep back in June. I feel your pain, it's so painful and the burning is terrible. Let us know what they say.

I'm feeling a bit better. Strep and blood work came back so the doctor called it "viral" which it seems to be ... it's moved on from a sore throat to nasal congestion.

Use one of those little nasal pot things, my mom uses ones every morning maybe that will help a little.

You should take nasal decongestant and nasal drops to releive the congestion. Take hot steam over your face and drink hot soup, you will really feel good.
