A couple of weeks ago, i started coughing very badly, went to the ER, was dx with the flu, wasn't told which one. was given tamaflu and lortab 5-500 and RX. A day or two later I noticed that I could hardly swallow. The roof of my mouth was so sore. Had trouble getting mucus from nasal passages. So I started to do that nasty hacking that brings it down your throat and you have to spit it out. It was very thick and bloody for several days. Got a mirror and looked inside. There was an area that looked like it was plugged off and it made the roof of my mouth very sore and it was hard to swallow anything.
