Sore throat problems?

[Anonymous]

So I'm going to the doctor in a couple of days if this doesn't go away but i just wanted to know ur opinions

I randomly got a sore throat Tuesday afternoon. It lasted until all day Wednesday, and it is now Thursday and i still have a sore throat. It kind of feels like my tonsils but im not really sure. I have no other symptoms- no white/yellow spots, no fever, no body aches, no loss of appetite. Just sore throat/tonsils and it hurts when i swallow. When i went to the nurse on Wednesday, she said it just looked red and i should drink plenty of fluids and gargle with salt water. I was relieved, but since i woke up with it today i felt kinda scared.

On Saturday, i went to a party and kissed a boy I've never kissed before--pretty sure he didn't have mono. I was also yelling a lot to talk to my friends because the music was super loud. (Just saying this in case it has to do with my situation)

I also have GERD, but I've been avoiding all foods that cause it AND when I did get affected by it, a sore throat was never a result. So I'm 99% sure that this is not the case.

Any opinions would be great, thanks all.

Your sore throat did not happen "randomly." It happened for a reason which can and will be determined. In my part of the world, this is allergy season. This can result in sinus congestion and post-nasal drip. If you have any symptoms of sinus congestion or season allergies, you might consider trying an antihistamine to see if that relieves any of your symptoms.

Hey, calm down, you're alright. However I strongly advise you go to a doctor. Either to ease your worries, prescribe you some meds, etc. That is what they're they're there for after all.
