I have had a sore throat off and on for 3 weeks! It gets to the point where I can't even swallow (or it feels like I can't)

Last night I skipped my Bio class so I could go to the ER I just couldn't take it anymore I waited for ever and a half thinking I would get in sooner because I work there (yeah that definitely didn't happen).... when the doctor came into the room she should me what might be happening something like my esophagus might be getting narrow or something like that so I have to go to Pittsburg for some kind of test I don't remember the exact name of the procedure…. O well I just feel shitty and wanted to vent some of this crap….
Has anyone else felt like crap this winter…
