What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing, Nausea And Tiredness?
I have difficulty swallowing for the past two weeks or more. I have been feeling nauseated and tired and the past day or two lightheaded. I had a Dr view my throat today and ifnormed me it is red and swollen. Gave me antiobotix and Steriods. However I didnt really get an answer as to why I am feeling this way. Your advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kindly

Hi, by your symptoms it looks like you had pharyngitis, which causes difficulty in swallowing, which inturn causes weakness due to lack of nutrition and dehydration, so drink plenty of fluids and follow proper diet. Hope it was helpful.
