A bunch of people at my church have recently come down with some sort of virus, but I was one of the first to get it and have been having it worse than most. It started as the worst sore throat--burning where I could only eat icy things, burning moved into my ears, my ears plugged up, and my neck swelled up to where it felt like I had injured it (ie very stiff and sore). 3 days in, my sinuses finally clogged. I went to the walk in clinic, got antibiotics and was diagnosed with acute sinusitis and bronchitis. The next day I had the worst sinus pain in history and my neck was so swollen, even blowing my nose or lifting my head hurt. Day nine of this illness and the sinus pain is gone but I am so fatigued and my neck is still sore. I sleep 16+ hours a day. I'm still blowing a bunch of crap out my nose. I'm beginning to panic that I'm getting something more severe like mono. I'm a healthy person who can go years without getting colds or sinus infections.Does anyone know what I may have?
