Says get plenty of rest, but I literally haven't slept in 2 days because my throat hurts so much.

[@charnitabarnett]

Yeah thats been my issue I had to take meds to make me sleep.

[@alexandrovalladaresfalcon5783]

Am praying I just have this and not something else because today is my 5 day

[@UltimateAlonso]

How you holding up bud?

[@dc4l677]

On my 6th day, still some pain but swelling has gone down significantly

[@lukemorbeytrainingtherapy739]

Day 7 for me tomorrow, its getting around this year isnt it!

[@insubordinate2056]

I think this is my 4th day or so and the pain has gone down quite a bit but it’s still there

[@TeeganPlayz_8903]

I hope y'all get well soon ❤️

[@Geraldo_Rivian]

This is very annoying...all my life I did the bare minimum when it came to oral hygiene...
But now that I am taking extra steps to keep my oral hygiene top-notch, this happens

[@theodorearmado3794]

yeaaa no exactlyyy j js been stepping up my brushing and this happens😭

[@DerrickthePinecone]

Anyone else's throat red, as well? I sleep with my mouth open and for 3 weeks now, my throat has been dry and my throat is red and I have no other symptoms. It's hoarse, rough, dry feeling, and my throat is red. The house I live in has a fireplace and dehumidifiers are always being used because of the possible mold issues living here in rainy Washington State. Any thoughts on this?

[@user-lt8rh6bl5f]

Oh thank god , since 2 years i think it was the last time i felt this symptoms

[@MrBankaikenshin]

Day 5 and its still painful, I hope this is what I have.

[@mikeb1417]

Have this just now 4th day pain is still unbearable

[@blackhoundrise8431]

This thing knocked me for 6 for an entire week! It was bad. Had abx prescribed.
Chills
Fevers
High temp
Constant headache
Swollen throat and tonsils
Drooling
Whole body was week
Barely walk and do much around the house in first 3-4 days when I had it.
My daughter had it for 2 years straight- Misdiagnosed how serious! Eventually she had tonsillectomy and adendectomy. She has had no issues with this. I hope to get an op one day to remove them.

[@behindthen0thing525]

[@ayabdulla]

I've been taking antibiotics for 7 days now and it hasn't got any better 😢 got white bumps at the back of my throat.

[@Courim_]

[@chivo8976]

[@sunnysideup1416]

[@TFLAGG1986]

How long did it take to go away?

[@monaiannucci9434]

[@TeeganPlayz_8903]
