i have the worst sore throat of my life right now..its the end of the second or third day, and it feels like glass shards in my throat when i swallow--its almost unbearable, and i have a high pain threshold. when i look inside its mostly bloody red patches all over the inside of my mouth and throat, maybe a little bit of white pus.
no runny nose yet, although i have mucus that i cough up if i try.
i've tried gargling salt water and listerine. tea with honey and lemon. cough drops, theraflu, mucinex, ibuprofen..if i put them altogether the pain diminishes a bit, but it never gets even close to going away..
and when i woke up this morning, my voice was gone to the point where i can only whisper no matter how hard i try to speak louder :/
another scary part is that im having trouble peeing right..it feels like i really have to go, but can only go a tiny bit. no burning like with a UTI, but it feels like i need to relieve myself more and i can't!
im trying to wait this out because im up to my eyeballs in medical debt for the next 18 months and if its something that will go away, then ill wait and not see a doctor..
anyways, im wondering if anybody has any insights or has experienced this , im so worried and had to miss work this weekend![]()

. Are the red patches white/pussy looking at all (sorry, I know that's gross!)? Because if they are, it could be a yeast infection in your mouth (it's common in the elderly or people with repressed immune systems). Or maybe an allergic reaction of some kind
. Do you think the two problems are related?
