Anyone a doctor or pre-med?

Soooooo, I never sit in my living room, where the air condition (wall unit) is. Yesterday, I sat there ALL day with the air conditioning blowing practically all day and I could slowly feel myself get a sore throat and stuffy nose, but thought nothing of it cause my show was on (x By the time I went to bed my throat was killing me and i couldn't breath through my nose. I gargled in salt water and ate two teaspoons of honey before bed because that is suppose to help the sore throat if its cause by a bacteria. When I woke up, I could not swallow and had a lot of trouble breathing. On top of that, My neck lymph nodes in were swollen and I had a terrible migraine that sat from my eyelids area all the way to my jaw and down my neck. It stayed throughout the day and now I have a cough and I feel like my chest is not getting enough air because it has that weight on it. Additionally, my back and legs are feeling very tingly, like the start of you're foot sleeping. It hurts to hold my head up and my eyes are having terrible pain. I know this could possibly be the flu, but it is less likely to get to flu in the summer (I think) and I don't think the symptoms would set like that in a matter of hours.

Along with this, a year ago I had mesenteric lymphadenitis and ever since I get terrible pains, not cramps, in my sides when I even so much as walk half a mile. Sometimes its not bad and sometimes its terrible where I cannot move. It has restrained my physical activity. But, the reason why I bring this up is because today I was walking and I got those pains even though I was walking like 10 steps from class to class; they also had the weird tingles along with the pain. Should I be worried?

My mom and Microbio teacher said maybe I am allergic to the air conditioning and I was exposed for too long, or maybe I was exposed to a mold possibly.
Is that possible? Any tips if it is an allergen? Please and thank you (:

I'm not a doctor, but as a mental health professional, I have worked with patients with various medical conditions. The swollen lymph nodes (if we assume that the palatations of the nodes are accurate and your lymph nodes are swollen), concern me more than anything else. However, I'd need to ask the following two questions in order to give you the best answer I can without knowing you personally or having seen you in the state you describe:
1. Are any of these symptoms chronic? If so, what and when did you first experience them?
2. Do you have any other preexisting conditions?

I think you were just exposed to the cold for too long. same shit happens to me when I sleep naked without a blanket on and the fan blasting at me because its so hot. then I wake up with a sore ass throat and I hate to swallow anything and my voice sounds gay and its just all bad lol. that's my theory.

How does a gay voice sounds like?

[BertMacklinFBI]

@molan i have no idea. it was a shitty expression i picked lol. i should've went with something else.

[molan]

Ok, because I would think a gay voice to be high pitch, but you've be more likely to have a hoarse voice.

Yes, I'm a doctor, but it does not require a doctor to find the cause, as you have mentioned it yourself.

The body may be more susceptible to viruses when body temperature is cooled by the air conditioning.
I suspect the air has an effect on your immune system and reports indicates a connection to development of respiratory allergies and executive use of air condition.

Honey is good, but won't help as much regarding virus infections, nor does antibiotics. But it might be germs from the air condition if it's not properly cleaned then mold, as you said, might get into your respiratory system.

If it's an allergic reaction, you might need antihistamine.

We can't tell, you need to see your doctor in any case for prescription drugs.

You were most likely exposed to the cold from the Air Conditioning too long
i think you have a cold , bronchitis brought on by exposure to cold too long

Yes, it's a bit dangerous.
