I have a virus and my throat is a big part of it. It is irritated,red and sore. It hurts when I swallow anything in general. Before the virus I always had an appetite for something, now that I have this virus I don't want to eat because nothing sounds good to me. Also because it hurts. Does anyone know why my throat pains have to do with my loss of appetite? And what I can do to stop/improve this?
