My symptoms started as a very sore throat, specifically tonsils. Swallowing, yawning, and opening my mouth hurt. Within the next day I had stiffness and aches throughout my body, lethargy, and suffered with mild fever and chills. This lasted for a couple of days before subsiding, to be replaced with a mucus-filled cough and voice loss, both of which are subsiding, but it's been nearly a week and I'm wondering if I should go to a clinic. It seems to be progressing by itself ok, but I looked at the back of my throat today and my tonsils are almost purple, swollen and seem pitted.
