Answer 3

glandular fever as in mono?  Your lymph nodes on your neck swell and your throat is so sore, you have to spit instead of swallow.  I have never had a sore throat that bad in my life, I would have ripped it out if I could.  

With your symptoms, especially sore joints, I'd guess it's more flu-like.  If you're head spins, you have fluid in your ears, you probably have a respiratory infection, could be viral like flu with the joint thing.  Take some Advil and go to the doctor in the morning.  

Answer 4

Go to the doc mate sore joints is a major sign of Glandular fever also if you are tired and fall asleep easily

Good luck hope you get well soon
