I m 18, I partied for a week and smoked a lot of cigars, but a day after that week my throat started to hurt. On the first day I had a headache, sensitivity to noise, a mild sore throat, and was thirsty. From then on my headache lessened but my sore throat was progressively worse, was still thirsty all the time, still pretty sensitive to noise, and I lost my voice!!! I can barely speak and when I do it s quiet and raspy. I thought I was dehydrated do I drank a lot of fluids but that hasn t seemed to help. It s been days now and I don t know what s up. My throat isn t noticibly red and it hurst to swallow. Usually after a big meal the pain may be almost gone do a minute, then it comes back. I can t raise my voice or my voice will give out and crack. I ve tried ibuprofen to help with the pain but it doesn t work, I took 4 and I didn t feel any difference whatsoever. Please help.
