Okay, for a while, I'd had sinus pressure, and I used Sudafed to treat it. The pain that you get, ya know behind your nose, kinda? Well, that went away and it kinda went to my throat. My friend said that the mucus goes from your sinuses to your throat. But, this doesn't feel like that. It feels kind of like, my throat is bruised or something. Whenever I swallow, it hurts!I have no idea if it's related, but I'll mention it anyway. The other day, I had like, really hot, strong lemonade. I squeezed a whole lemon in a 12 ounce cup, added water to fill up the rest of the cup, and, yeah. Could that have burned my esophagus or something? Or am I just paranoid? Edit: I just looked at the back of my throat in a mirror, and there are very many tiny bumps there. WHAT IS THIS?

Throat pain!

Well your friend is right. When you have sinus congestion and then it goes to a drip it drips down the back of your throat irratating the throat, which can cause the pain you are describing. However there is also a possiblity of strep throat depending on how you feel further into it. It is hard to tell but if they are tiny bumps it can be leading to strep, but if your throat is just red that can be due to the drip

It could be from drainage, or you may have strep throat or tonsilitis. The achy bruised feeling is probably swollen glands in your throat. If you have a fever or mucous that isn't clear (i.e. green, yellow, brown, etc.) you have an infection and will most likely need an antibiotic.

I went to the doctor today, it's not strep throat. I was told to use over the counter medicines, lozenges, and to gargle salt water. But it still hurts and I firmly believe that all doctor's that check me out are just damn lazy.

Alright, I'll trust you since you're a liberal feminist.

To me that seriously sounds like strep throat... I had it, takes a few days to get over, just give it time. Drinks lots also.
