I have had cold symptoms for months. I take Claritin and Zertec, switching every few months. Recently I acquired a burning sore throat. My mother says my tonsils look inlarged. My mother and grandmother both have hypothyriod. I hurts to swallow, breathe deeply, yawn, cough, etc.... I just want to be done. I am going to be sick on my birthday. I dont sleep because of it. I just need advice or a hard push in the right direction.
