So about a week ago I developed a really severe sore throat where I could hardly swallow. I went to the doctor and she tested me for strep and also oral chlamydia and gonorrhea. They all came back negative. After the visit it got a bit better but now it just won't go away. It is a whole lot worse in the mornings and gets better over the day, only to get worse at night again. It's been over a week now and won't change in severity.

I have been using my air conditioner all summer, so that can't be it.

Also, I am on 6-mercaptopurine for Chron's Disease, could that be the problem since it is an immunosuppressant?


Any answers would be much appreciated
