Last Friday I woke up with this huge lump in my throat. Then last Sunday a bunch of white spots appeared on my tonsils so I went to the doctor and they assumed I had strep throat. But then yesterday it got progressively worse where the white blotches turned into giant canker sores. So I went back to the doctor and he said that I had a viral infection that causes ulcers to form on my tonsils and throat cavity. I can't even swallow my own spit without feeling intense, burning/stinging pain! He said the infection was caused by stress and was most commonly found in teenagers because of High School. So now I'm stuck at home all week being unable to eat anything at all and being unable to drink water without the special oral gel my doctor prescribed. I have never been in so much pain in my whole life!
