Airway evaluation: Whenever someone complains of this, it is extremely important to look into the back of the mouth to evaluate the airway. The risk would be a 'closing off' of this area and respiratory compromise. I suggest you have a doctor take a look to make sure you don't have epiglottis or some other inflammatory problem of these sensitive tissues. Hopefully it's just a virus, but I would want u to be checked.
