A few days ago, I woke up with a very sore throat. I thought it was allergies, even though there wasnt many in the air, but I've taken a lot of benedryl and other allergy meds since. I have a bad headache, my thraot hurts worse, and I non stop cough all the time. My throat is a weird hurt. It hurts where my tonsils are, and in my lower throat. I cannot drink with my throat straight, I cannot do anything with my throat straight, without immense pain. (When I say "throat straight", I mean kind og when you have straight posture, and you hold your head up high kind of) I always have to curve it when I do anything to ease the pain. I have not had any fever at all. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight, and my throat and glands are very swollen, and I have a white dot on my left tonsil. Please any advice? Is it just allergies? Im one of those people who assumes the worst of the least. Please be honest and help!
