Damn dude why didnt you tell me you were sick.
I had something similar. Man it was horrid. My throat was so sore that lil punching bag thing in the back of my throat looked all deformed. I was coughing some serious shit too.
I kicked it on my own, no doc. Probally good for the immune system.
Cheers bro, if you need anything, im only 40 mins away
