Within 2 days, I developed a fever, sore throat, coughing, congestion, etc. I was hoarse for about a week. A doctor told me I had an upper respiratory
virus,
and I chalked the sore throat up to this. Most of the symptoms cleared up in a week or so.
However, over three weeks later, I still have the sore throat and can now see white-ish bumps in the back of my throat.
