I m in college, have a ton of work to do and can t get to a doctor. I am experiencing throat pain. This is mainly only when I swallow. The intensity of the pain seems to vary. I also feel like my ears are clogged. They feel like there is a little tickle way into my ear. My nose is not very runny but I have spit up dark green mucus when I attempt to clear my throat. I am not getting constant green mucus, just in the mornings. I inspected my tonsils and there is no visible white spots. They do not even appear to be swollen or irritated. I have no clue what it is. I had a pretty bad cold about three weeks ago that gave me a scratchy/burny/sore throat. This is not like that. I don t know how to describe it, but I would say my current throat pain hurts more then a sore throat.
