I have had a cough for about five days and today i feel that my throat is blocking?

Get checked.: The feeling that your throat is blocking is concerning. Get checked. If you feel as though you have trouble breathing, please get urgent help. You have been sick for 5 days and you may simply have enlarged tonsils (or tonsillitis). However, there are other conditions to worry about including: pertussis, epiglottitis, abscess (tonsillar or pharyngeal), and infections lower in the airways or lung.
