Current Events > how does a typical sore throat feel?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Every time I've gotten sick before, my throat wasn't actually SORE unless I coughed so hard and so often that I tore it up.

Usually getting sick just means an uncomfortable throat. Potentially very uncomfortable but not actually painful.

This time though, my throat gets these throngs of pain that last a few seconds. You know the feeling when you try to swallow a huge chunk of food, and it is struggling to fit down your throat, and you can feel it basically scraping slowly down your esophagus? That's very much how the throat pains feel to me now. Is this what people talk about when they say they have a sore throat? Because this is the first time I've experienced this and I don't like it
