My throat hurts allot and I can?t swallow. I have allot of fluid building up in my mouth and I have not been able to eat anything in about 2 days because it hurts so much. Iv?e already lost 2 kg in the past day and I went to the doctor yesterday and they said said my throat was red and my tonsils were fine so there was nothing they could do or anything they can prescribe me and I do not know what to do because I can barley get up or do anything and when I try and speak I gag and I can not talk, any idea what could be happening, I also have anorexia, depression and possible bpd so im worried its triggering my anorexia as i?m loosing weight.

It sounds like you may have a severe sore throat and difficulty swallowing, which could be caused by a number of conditions such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis or mononucleosis. I suggest you take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to help with the pain and swelling. It's important to keep in mind that your mental health conditions, anorexia and depression, could be affecting your ability to cope with your symptoms and that its important to address that as well. You may want to also consider reaching out to a mental health professional for support. They can help you develop strategies for managing your symptoms and help you find ways to cope with the anxiety and stress that your physical symptoms may be causing.
