Hi. So a couple days ago I started having a sore throat. Since it was really mild and only in the morning, I figured that it was because I had stayed up late. Yesterday morning, I woke up with a fever, all of my joints hurting, and the back of my throat (kinda like where the head and neck would meet up) feeling like it had been hit. That bruised feeling is only on the sides of my throat. It isn t tonsils becauseI had those taken out a long time ago. Any suggestions?
