For the past four days I ve been experiencing a sore throat. I have large bumps on the back of my tongue and my tonsils are very swollen. However as this has been happening for the four days, the first day I had severe chills, the second day I had minor chills, the third day my throat was almost swollen shut and my left ear was in severe pain, and today it is just my throat that is bothering me. I don t know if this has anything to do with it, but I had oral sex for the first time and the night of when this happened, these symptoms started.
