I have been sick for about 9-10 days now. My first symptom was a sore throat. Then, my nose got all stuffy and runny. (This is the first day to second day). The second day and third day, I got a mild fever. My throat was still in pain and my lymph nodes were flaring. By the fourth day, I thought i got better, but my throat was still scratchy and I was constantly hocking up phlegm. By the 6-10th days, i developed a dry cough but my sore throat was gone, as in the pain on the back of my throat was gone, except the fact that the muscles on the underside of my chin and the upper sides of my neck/throat are extremely sore. Like muscle soreness. When I use my neck muscles to lift my head after laying down, it hurts, just as in picking something up after working out your arms. It is also very hard for me to swallow food. I went to the doctor and they said it COULD be mono, but my appetite is fine and my pee is not very dark. My throat also does not have pimples. What's going on?
