Weird sore throat? Help me diagnose?!
Question: I have a sore throat unlike any I've had before. It's verrry painful to swallow or yawn, especially in the morning, but there's no roughness to my throat, I don't sound horse at all, it sounds like I'm not even ill. The pain feels like it's around the upper part, near the entrance to my throat. I have no blocked/runny nose but I'm constantly producing bright green, sometimes hard, phlegm in my throat. That usually only happens in recovery stages or first thing in the morning with most sore throats. Also today (4th day) I woke up with my eyes slightly swollen and crusted shut, as they'd obviously produced some kind of mucus over night. Anyone know what this might be or how to relieve it? I'm not doing anything at the mo.

I woke up with the SAME thing just 15 minutes ago, and your question is the 5th thing I found, and the only one that had anything on what I'm having right now. Except I wear contacts overnight so there's always some kind of mucus (very little though, and yes, bad for me to wear my contacts overnight, I know.)
But I woke up with the same exact thing you described as far as your throat goes. I sense no roughness in my throat, I just kept swallowing as I was waking up.. It still hurts. x_x I don't know whether this is big enough to miss a day of school or not for the doctor.
This is sort of what I had, I just went to the Chemists and told them, they gave me something to help, after that it was fine.
Not quite sure what it is though, all I suggest is going to see a Doctor, they'll know what it is for sure, you can't always rely on people here.
Hope this helped, I wish you better. :]
Maybe your body is too heaty. In other words, drink more water, a lot of water (ideally around 2.5liter a day).
That's a symptom to have a fever. If it persist, make sure you visit a pharmacy, at least, to get some medicine.
