for the past 5 days i have had this really painful lump in my throat. im 16 and a girl and it feels like i have a pill suck in it. swallowing is really painful and when i eat i want to cry it hurts so bad. the only thing i've been able to eat is popsicles and that's pretty painful too. on the first 2 days it was just a little uncomfortable but now it hurts really bad. is in the back of my throat and starts in the middle of my throat and goes down to the very top of my chest. its getting painful to breath also. i took a motrin and that helped a little. if you have any idea what this is or what i can do to make it stop hurting that would be very helpful.
