Well, I felt fine yesterday, and now today, I felt my throat. The outside of my throat, on the right side under my ear. And, it hurt. So I grabbed a flashlight, and looked on the inside of my throat, and the right side is swollen. I can feel congestion running too. I have a small fever of 99.3 and I feel like I'm overheating. I also have sore muscles. What is wrong with me and how can I treat this? I

monitor your fever if it goes any higher than that would indicate an infection.  totally try the salt water rinse.  you could have a bad sinus infection which is now draining into your throat which will cause definite discomfort.  i would take one of those tylenol servere cold and flu medicines.  the liquid one seems to work better but thats just my opinion. and sleep and drink a lot of water. it should probably flush itself out of you.  feel better
