I woke up this morning with a really sore throat that makes down my neck hurt like a swollen gland as the sore throat is only on one side! I called the dr and explained the symptoms he said sounds like a throat infection most likely feel better in a few days, since then I got a piece of stuff come up from my throat like something yellow and it’s tasted like if you hadn’t flossed your teeth in a few days and then do them and it has that awful taste, I can’t see anything down my throat expect for a bit of redness on one side, now this evening I feel extremely tired, but I don’t know if this is because I have been on extreme anxiety alert all day but I’m panicking that I have or am going to get sepsis! You hear so many stories these days about people developing sepsis from throat issues!? Please don’t tell me any symptoms as most likely I will just be scared of developing them and just panic all night.. could anyone help me please with any advice or reassurance! Thank you so much!
All you really know is that you have something going on in your throat. There is absolutely nothing to panic about. It sounds like a little one who is told a ghost story a believe it to be true and becomes terrified. These things have a way of clearing up in a few days on their own.
Hi Peter, I really appreciate the reply! I know it’s exactly that! Like I read things in the media or hear people telling stories, and my brain just sucks in in without me knowing and as soon as I hear anything to do with that part of he body is reappears in my brain! Anxiety disorder for you! 😂 I’m hoping maybe a tonsil stone you can see! I tried getting a cotton bud and looking, but all It does is make me gag! but not sure they cause pain either! Maybe see how I am tommorow and if it isn’t any better get the dr to check it out, although I have he dentist tommorow so maybe they could help! I don’t know! But fingers crossed it goes away as soon as possible! Again thanks so much for even replying
