History Of Influenza A Infection. Have Cough, Sore Throat. Normal?

6 weeks ago my family had Influenz A (diagnosed by a swab on my husband, not me). I still have the cough but I have a sore throat on the left side when I swallow and the feeling of like razor blades when I cough. If I press on the left side of my throat (externally) I can feel some pain and weird movement that makes a clicky noise. does this sound normal?

Madam i am suspecting that you are having tonsillitis,but your husband had already being diagnosed as having influenza A' so you should go for throat-swab test. As far as clicking sound on pressng throat from side is concern it is normal finding caled as Laryngeal cripitus.
