Diagnosis

Yip, I have Pharyngitis, mixed it together and beat till fluffy - with the cold and flu - and just to top it, a little icing a.k.a - bladder infection -, cherry on top! Serve with a cup of self pity and enjoy! Blegh! Off to bed!!!

Pharyngitis
Pharyngitis is a sore throat caused by inflammation of the back of the throat. Your throat may be scratchy and swallowing can be painful. Usually a sore throat is the sign of another illness, such as a cold or the flu. Unless you have a bacterial infection, taking antibiotics doesn't help a sore throat. In fact, most sore throats go away on their own in a week or less.

Signs and Symptoms:
The symptoms that accompany a sore thorat can vary, depending on what the underling illness is.
