What Causes Severe Pain In The Throat?
Hi, I have had the most painful throats over the past 8 days?! I ve been to hospital because my temperature was to high, my whole body was sore, I couldn t swallow, I couldn t eat, and I could barely breathe with out pain?! The hospital said it was really bad?! They had given me steroids, blood tests, pee tests, needles, tablets and a drip?! It got better after the steroids but was still very sore, but now it s almost as bad as the start which was 8 days ago?! I honestly think I have a tonsil cancer? My ear is aching, my under chin/neck is very sore...
