A member asked:

Just now j realized that my throat hurts alot! when i swallow it feels like a big lump that hurts bad. i know it's not a sore throat. it really hurts?

Tonsilitis: can cause a lot of pain when they are big .and makes it even more difficult to swallow, Have your doctor take a look in the throat and you can look for yourself.
