Pharyngitis or Laryngitis ??
This is the third day I'm experiencing too much pain in my throat; it can make me cry.
Now I can't determine if I have a Pharyngitis or Laryngitis ??
I just know that if I take in lots of calls and I drink a glass full of cold water my voice will start getting hoarse and I will experience pain in my throat already.
I have to say that this kind of sickness happened to me this year only. After working for 2 years in a call center, it feels like my body is about to give in to any types of disease out there.
I can't believe my immune system is this weak now.
So, I'm reading about Pharyngitis or Laryngitis ??
From the articles, I've read.. I can't really tell which one I have.
Pharyngitis
More like a sore throat with symptoms of fever, rashes and muscle pains.
This is caused by bacteria.
Laryngitis
Inflammation of the voice box that makes your voice hoarse.
This is caused by colds or flu.
It also happens when you overuse your voice like when you cheer for your fav sports team.
Now, looking at these details, I still can't figure out which one I've got.
I don't have a hoarse voice so it can't be Laryngitis?
I don't have a fever so it can't be Pharyngitis?
I will probably find out if I see my doctor tomorrow.
For the meantime, this picture best describes what I should look like for the next 24 hours.
