What Causes Burning/stabbing Pain In Throat?

About 5 days ago I was at a school trip and I drank some water(1 litre) from a river/bathing place. 8 hours ago I started experiencing a burning stabbing pain in my throat, possibly enlarged lymph nodes, but can t spot anything in the mirror. I have been reading up on possible deaseses, and I found something called tularemia, is it possible that I have been infected by this? I can remember hearing my teacher telling me and my class that packing lots of water wasnt needed because the riverwater was drinkable. I heard 2011 is a lemming year, so it s seems to good to be true that this is just a cold.

Hello,

It may be due to chronic gastritis with sore throat.

For that you may require complete hemogram, throat swab, upper GI endoscopy after gastroenterologist consultation.

You may require tablet pantoprazole and syrup Mucaine gel.

Avoid hot and spicy food.

Avoid smoking and alcohol.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
