8. I figured....
Since Bella is not on here that much, and I do not see Miss M that often, I figured it would be one old LU regulars.

2. I had something similar over the winter. Tonsilitis.
A week on anti-biotics and good as new.

Good luck.

7. Well I don't have a temp...
But I started sneezing Saturday and then my throat went soar and my nose is stuffed up. It is not running or anything, it is just stuffed up.

13. I took some Motrin
So that should help. I am at work so crushed ice is out of the question. My wife is getting me some Chloraseptic.

10. Do you have allergies?
Could be irritation from nasal drip. White or pink bumps? Could be strep or oral flush.

11. Can't see back there.
But I am not an allergy person. I rarely get allergies. it is from my nose being stuffed up and sleeping with my mouth open.

17. Don't know if it was the motrin or the chicken soup.
But I all the sudden started feeling ten times better. I can swallow and it does not feel like my throat is full of razor blades.
