Answer 1

Sounds like a virus,  maybe its time to see the doctor, you might need antibiotic

Answer 2

some colds progress slowly

Answer 3

sounds like you're catching a cold.. take some cough medicine and rest .. see a doctor if it's really bad

Answer 4

I'm guessing you still have your tonsils.  You could be developing a cold or virus of some sort.  Take your temperature to see if you have a fever, gargle (again) with warm salt water, drink hot/warm tea, eat only soft foods, take tylenol or advil, get a good night's sleep and make a doctor's appointment if you don't start feeling better real soon.  Good luck!

Answer 5

well i don't know what it is but it has definitely happened to me before. But i what i can tell you is gargle salt water it will help alot well for me it did

Answer 6

it sounds like you are getting strep throat... Does it hurt to eat food? if so you need to go see a doctor and stay away from other people cause it is contagious. And  if it don't hurt to swallow foods then it sounds like the beginning of a cold so don't sweat it colds are common. :-)

Answer 7

Go to your local clinic's walk-in (also known as urgent care, but NOT ER) . Sounds like you may have a strep throat! Go to the doctor and get some antibiotics and everything should be alright. Either way go to a doctor, as they are the most knowledgeable!
