That much wretching is bound to create some after affects in the throat especially. Frankly, it doesn't sound like you have a bug. It sounds very much like food poisoning especially if you don't have a fever or diarrhea or coughing or any other symptoms accompanying.
At any rate, the constant pressure on the throat muscles is certainly going to leave you sore and aching. Take 2 -500mg acetamenophen (tylenol) every 4 hours (if you can keep them down) and that will really help with the pain.
Try to keep fluids in your system to make up for all that you lost. Rest and give in to it. Your body has just been through a lot of stress. The tylenol will help but you're going to feel lousy for awhile at least throughout the day and overnight.
If you start hurting worse though, that would be a clue to get right in to your doctor. Otherwise you should be experiencing residuals that are normal like tiredness, weakness, queezy stomach, light headed, loss of appetite, aching throat, etc. for a little while yet.

Sounds like one of two things: Either you burned your throat with all of the stomach acid you've been bringing up, or you really did pull a muscle. Either way, give yourself a few days to recover. Bed rest is best, especialy since you sound like you just had a nasty bout of food poisoning. Stay in, try not to talk if you can, drink what ever fluids you can keep down, even if it means just too gargle, and if your still in trouble after 48 hours, then take a trip to the clinic.

If it hurts that undesirable. . . you have strep. you may desire to verify a doctor ASAP to get an antibiotic. meanwhile, make your self as delicate as plausible. attempt gargling with heat salt water each 2 hours and take medicine for sore throats. If it receives to undesirable. . . bypass to the ER. stable success!

You need to see a doctor ASAP. You could have strep throat or pharyngitis. Good luck!

suck on cough drops or use a throat spray. taking ibuprofen will help if you can keep it down. goodluck.
