Im 19 turning 20..never smoked a day in my life. My throat is killing me. i cry sooooo much. My cough is dry and throat, no matter how much water i drink. Cough drops and cold meds works for a moment..but as soon as i go to sleep and wake up, its back only ten times worse!!!! Im so scared to sleep tonight!! i have a presentation/business pitch to do..i dunno what to do. My mom spoon fed me soup (i LOVE my mommy :-)) and i felt better till i slept and woke up. It gets worse and worse. It all started with mucuc in my throat, i had to keep emptying my throat from all the mucus (u know, like snorting i guess) and it just kept hurting. Then a couple days later, it started getting worse!
It started to get bad after i left the doctor's office..only, the night before, i had mucus in my throat. Im scared! i dunno what to do!!!!

What i find that helps besides cough drops...is heating some water and putting lemon juice and some cough drops in it. I tried heating mineral water (carbonated water=sprite but without the lemon and sugar :-)) and i added two cough drops and some lemon juice. it helps it alot!!! but UGH this throat thing is killin me! and i see its common in 20 year olds lol.
im sort of have the same symptoms as you guys. I have been having a really bad sore throat lately. I do know where it came from. But my throat is swollen and it makes eating and drinking difficult. I gag when i eat certain foods and gag when i drink. Its miserable. And everytime i swallow theres pain on the right side of my throat. I actually cried because the pain was unbearable. I don't smoke even tho I tried it recently. I ate mac and cheese and thats when it started getting worse. I think maybe its an allergic reaction to dairy. But im just guessing here. I have stayed away from it tho. Im 22 by the way.
I've been having the same exact problem. But here's something new... I'm 12!! Last night I could not sleep at all!! I also had a 101.2 fever. My symptoms where chills, obviously the throat pain, and I got extremely hot. Now its morning and I have no fever, no chills, but the throat pain continues. It almost feels like it's just my tonsils, but the soft part on the roof of my mouth is full of mucus! I also can't swallow eat or even drink without this horrible pain. Please reply!!
Ha this is really scaring me I am 57.I went to the doctor with the throat problem.tHE DOCTORS ACTED WEIRD.No medication for it can hardly talk throat burning all night.Done the salt water listerine thing no good,It may be a bad virus from outside the us

hello all, i found this forum while searching for more information about my own sore throat (hard to swallow type). mine has been going on for 4 days now and wakes me up in the morning. so so very annoying and painful.
there is a temporary remedy that i learned from my British grand parents when i was a small kid. you take 1 ASA (standard asprin, not tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil (ibuprofen), strictly ASA and grind it into a dust using 2 spoons or whatever you have. add this powder to a glass. add honey and lemon juice, and add warm/hot water. slowly drink this mixture over 15 mins or so and the relief is AMAZING. obviously this is not a cure, and only meant to help you sooth the pain so you can eat and drink more normally until you can completely heal.
i have been using this since i was 6 years old, and i am 43 now however CDC suggests caution of asprin products if you have a viral infection and are under the age of 19 because of a suspected link to Reye's Syndrome.

I have the same symptoms. What I do that helps a lot id gargle with warm very salty water. Salt dehydrates the throat and reduces the swelling. It is most helpful remedy I found so far...
I had a really bad throat for 2 weeks but I couldn't see any problems like swollen tonsils or anything. I went to the doctors and he couldn't find anything wrong either but he said I could try anti biotics. I've been taking them for 2 days and my throats completely better!
this has happend to me to and i still have it. likei will go to bed then i will end up wakeing up at like around 5 in the morning and when i do my neck it sore im stuck coughing and i cant breath threw my nose (cuz its stuffy)
the best way to get rid of this problem is to drink hot water with some salt this really helps and dont eat oily spicy and cold foods and beverage
get honey mix it with ginger juice(made by grinding the ginger) and take 2 teaspoons 3 to 4 or even 5 times a day. Also drink hot water only the whole day and your sore throat will go away.
I recently had all of these symptoms and I am currently have a sore throat now . I went to my doctors last time and he told me that I have ulcers on my toncils and the best way to get shut of it was by gargelling salt water hopee thiss helped
I get the same
