Weird combination of not exactly cold-like symptoms. I have had a sore throat since Sunday. It s not scratchy, it s more like bruised, and the focus is on the uvula, not the throat and tonsils as is my norm. I have very slight congestion / sinus pressure and some blockage of one eustacian tube ... I think from swelling. I have a deformity in the chamber behind the ear drum on that side so it is not a surprise. No fever. No aches. Headache that does not respond to Advil. I had a flu shot last Wednesday. I had no symptoms Saturday, woke up with them full blown Sunday am. It s now Thursday night. No changes at all. Thoughts?
