What Causes Pain In The Throat During Swallowing?
My throat hurts right above where my chest begins. So it s right at the bottom of my neck. If I touch it it kills. I can t swallow anything without pain. I feel like I have a fever but haven t taken my temp bc I don t have a thermometer. I m really weak the last three days I ve been sleeping a lot.. I m 33 yo female and have had mono twice and it doesn t feel like a strep sore throat. It s much lower. What is this??

It could be acid reflux or an ulcer. Eat small portions at a time and avoid spices and fried foods. Try Disprin gargles and steam inhalation with tincture of benzoin.
