I'm hoping you can help me with this..8 days ago I became very sick with extremely hard to swallow throat,swollen neck/glands,fever,headaches,achy legs followed by dry chocking cough and stuffy/runny nose. On day 3 I went to walk in and they said flu and checked for strep throat but I didn't get a call back so I'm assuming it wasn't strep throat. On day 4/5 my fever and leg pains stopped. It's now day 8 and I'm still getting dry chocking cough attacks and extremely sore hard to swallow throat and I just noticed my uvula has red lines on it..my throat has also been red this whole time.
