Can you give me your opinion?!


Question: Can you give me your opinion?
I would go to a real doctor, but we just got a lot of snow dumped on us, so I'm not going anywhere.
It started last week with just a little sore throat, and I didn't think anything of it. Now my lymph nodes in my neck are swollen, and my throat is killing me. I'm not running a fever, but my body is achy and sore all over. It hurts so bad to even touch my neck. I know I have some sort of infection. I feel like I shouldn't be talking, almost as if I should go on vocal rest?! I have scar tissue in my throat that I never got removed as a kid (I was born a premature baby, so it's from the tubes they had in my throat. So I have a somewhat quiet/raspy voice, so that's also why I think I should go on vocal rest.)

I've been trying to sleep a lot, but during the night I'll wake up and just lay there, then eventually fall back asleep.

Also, should I go to work tomorrow? I don't want the infection to worsen or spread. And I pretty much answer phones all day. What do you think?

you definitley need anti biotics. Stay at home, rest a lot, eat soup. Definitley dont go to work especially if you are always talking it will strain your throat. As soon as you can get to the doctor to prevent it from getting worse



i don't really know but it kinda sounds like strep throat but it would be good to see a doctor just encase so it don't get worse.
