Your analysis is that i have a virus from getting hit?? Can i get a second opinion please!! Could this judt be bruising that will go away? I can breathe fine, and have mo voice issues
Brief Answer:
Not virus but bacteria
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your follow up query; and most probably you may be suffering from the bacterial infection not the viral.
For your kind information pharyngitis have no effect on breathe and voice but they may be effected in laryngitis.
According to my best of knowledge in this condition I personally suggest you proper antibiotic course and antiseptic gargles.

Ok, but this is from a blunt trauma. How does bacteria get involved? Im worried i have cracked cartilage in the throat. Could that be possible?

Not cracked cartilage but may be the trauma to mucosa of throat

Hi Sir,
I have gone through your follow up query; and most probably blunt trauma may causes injury to the mucosa of throat but not to the cartilage.
For your kind information bacteria may get involved only by the mild erosion to the mucosa of the throat.
