trying to find out what i have. major symptom is sore throat, and pain while swallowing. looks like i have red spots behind the uvula. thought it was a cold/flu when it first started: the scratchy throat and lower back pain, then high fever (which is now fairly low) and chills (now gone), and now a stuffy nose. but it feels like i have something stuck my throat (like some food didn't go all the way down, except that i've only been drinking water)
