Woke up yesterday feeling run over by mac truck and had incredibly sore throat - very difficult to swallow . Thought it was strep throat , but no little dots on uvula and or soft pallette. Slept all day, pretty dehydrated - skin tenting a bit, and noticed soft pallette loooks thickly covered in yerllowish coating, and uvula has larger red spots that are irregular in shape. Don t feel feverish, but I seldom get fevers with anything. HAve had post nasal drip constantly since woke up yesterday, still today, but now sneezing. HEad foggy, ears clogged, cold meds soing nothing - not even real pseudophed 12 hr.
