Throat on FiRe

My throat is on fire. I will say this, there are years that pass by that I do not use pain pills, I don't even use them after surgery. Here's why, when I was 17  I had hip surgery and my physical therapist said that if I start using Ib profien now or Tylenol now and use it regularly what will I use when I am older meaning in my 20's and 30's??? I have had a few surgeries since and so thankful to have not have used pain pills. I seem to have crazy not fun reactions to many pills that send me back to the hospital. Who wants to throw up so badly that you have to get IV's and pop stitches not me anymore lesson learned half my age ago. I will say this... my throat is on FiRe and last night I took a Tylenol. Tonight it seems to hurt even worse and I am dreading having to swallow them down because it feels like someone scraped the insides of my throat out and in its place put canker soars. The odd thing is it is my lower throat not the back of my throat like step. It hurts to breath. The doc said last night if I begin to swell to come in right away to give me steroids so that I can breathe. Ouch someone make me get up and get the Tylenol I can't take it anymore.
