Thank you so much for your replies. I have been scared and frustrated at this severe sore throat, because it seems like all the common sore throat related illnesses have come back negative. My doctor did do a thyroid test on me, because she said that the spot on the right side of my neck where I have said the pain is in my throat is where your thyroid is. Still haven't got the results of this yet (hopefully, they will be here by this afternoon).

One big problem I hate right now is producing so much saliva that I am drooling, and when I swallow the large amount, it causes me choke. Its like once I swallow, my mouth gushes out even more saliva. Its embarassing to be drooling during the day when I am out and about.
