I just got a bad sore throat It hurts so bad to swallow my spit and it hurts bad to eat or drink anything I swallow it and do not spit it out which i should the spit is very thick and gooie my temp is a 103.6 degree temp when not on tylonol and a 102.5 temp when on tylonol...I get constant cold sweats my entire body aches so bad... I had a stomach ache but I think that was because I kept overdosing on tylonol not knowing I was untill I got dizzy adn found out it was only midnight and I went to bed at 7 and took so much tylonol's and advil liquid gels...But now I am tring to keep it regulated but this crap dont work very well my throat still hurts bad......... I dunno if I have health insurance yet but what should I do about this my entire body aches and I dont think I can drive I may have to have my dad drive me.

See your doctor to rule out Strep Throat. That's what it sounds like, from my personal experience.

Well I went to see a doc he said its not strep but he said my throat looked nasty he said my tonsils were swallown alot so he gave me some anti-biotics because he said it may be another bacterial cold he said that back in the day before they had strep checks that was a throat that they would just treat...... he said that if it was a viral infection that I just gota w8t it out but there are other things that we can do to make it feel better like take steriods to help the swelling........I have kinda been taking to many advils layley like 2 every 3 hours cause I cant stand the pain
