what is wrong with me (medically)?
A week ago my tonsils got really swollen, I had a fever and back pain. As the week went by the back pain left but my tonsils swelled more and more, then eventually swallowing and drinking was really difficult. About 5 days into it i lost my voice and started to get a little bit of a cough. I lost my voice for three days, on the second day my cough started to get increasingly worse. It got to the point where I get migraines because of how often and intensely I cough. I have had a few episodes where I have started tearing and had to lay down just to get a breath in between and it honestly feels like I am having some sort of Asthma/ cough attack.
What's wrong?

4 AnswersPersonal Finance9 years agoMy Best Friend is so much better than me and it makes me not want to be around her...?
My friend is a couple of months younger than me but I absolutely love her to pieces! When we hang out here is no one that make me more happy than she does! But any other time we spend together is ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL and it makes me hate myself and just want to cry! She is 100000 times more athletic than me, she is good at every sport she tries and she is the best!I am just average, I do cheer and lacrosse and I am just one of the average people on the team that if I am missing no one cares about. She received the highest PSAT score in our entire grade!! I was in the "Above 75-80% of the country" section. We are both pretty smart... I work pretty hard (not like suuuper hard) in all my classes, I have straight A's and one B, She understands everything so well and is able to apply her work so quickly that she doesn't even need to study! She is absolutely pretty! She is a red bone and has the most beautiful eyes! They are almost green! She has the best skin tone and best body structure and her stomach is SOO FLAT! unlike mine! I am much darker than she is! Everyone makes fun of me for it, I have a flabby stomach and I feel like I look like a gorilla! I work so hard to earn respect and be favored by authority figures and to gain their trust, I have done absolutely NOTHING WRONG EVER (that anyone would call me irresponsible for) but she get respect handed to her when she doesn't even work for half the things tha I work for. I am pretty sociallly out going, but she has to be just that much more out going than me, and that much more funnny and that much better of a dancer... plus she can SING! like what am I supposed to do? I hate who I am around her and everything I have she steals from me, she gets everythingg I have and I am left with nothing!
