Swollen throat, no pain? What is up?

Question

I woke up yesterday and I had this weird feeling in my throat, almost like I had swallowed a bug or pea or something. It continued throughout the day but it was so slight that I could ignore it. I woke up today and it feels like the 2nd day of a sore throat. My throat feels swollen, it's kind of hard to swallow but there is (on a scale of 1-10) 1.5 pain if any. I feel fine, no fever, no nausea. What could this be?

Answer 1

I believe it might just be allergies. I have the same problem when allergy season comes. I have never really tried anything to make it go away, but allergy medicine might helps, and drinking plenty of water.
