I have some sort of throat thing. I don't think it's strep; both my kids had it and both tested negative for strep. But my throat and the back of my tongue are just on fire. Torn up, ragged, hurting bad.
If my kids hadn't had it last week, I'd be more worried, but I took them to the doctor and got a big fat "you wasted your time and your co-pay, not a thing I can do for them". It really is horrible though
