SUP DOC?

Soooo went to the doctor yesterday because the left side of my throat is so beyond swollen and sore that its not even funny. Also as a result my ear feels like someone just stabbed the inside of it. But you wanna know what he told me to do? take robutussin and I should be as good as new by tomorrow...LIE I wake up at 3am bc my ear and throat and now chest hurt so bad. Every time I cough my throat hurts and in return my ear feel like its getting ready to pop out. Its impossible to swallow and I literally feel  like death right now and now look like a freak show bc the ENTIRE left side of my throat up to my ear is swollen...good job doc. ill just continue to sleep so that I'm not in so much pain.
