Terrible Throat pain

chinkyong posted:
Yesterday morning i woke up with a little throat pain, and i thought i was just getting a cold. However, last night the pain became a lot worse accompanied by chills and backaches. This morning at six i thought i was dying! It hurt like hell to swallow, eat, and breathe. I can't even drink water right now. Ive tried advil and tylenol, but they do not work. I tried taking this natural antibacterial bee alcohol thing from new zealand, but that just stings my throat for a few seconds and does nothing else. Also, my ears seemed clogged and when i swallow they hurt along with my throat, but my throat is the biggest problem. I also have a little backache and cannot fall asleep. I felt the inside of my throat where my tonsils are and i felt three bumps that hurt when i touch. What is wrong with me?

Since I do not know anything about you, your medical history, or have any way of examining you, it would not be possible for me to make a diagnosis (determine what is wrong with you). As much as I would like to help you, this is not possible.

You will need to see a medical provider so that you can be be properly examined, diagnosed, and treatment.
