Stop swallowing - just spit.

seriously, though - I have the same problem. It could very well be a bad case of strep... But you should get it checked out. Doesn't your school have a clinic into which you can walk?

I've never experienced something like that.

I know when I was younger and had meningitis I had a really sore throat and a very stiff painful neck.

As far as pain localized in the larynx, are you a smoker or do you have issues with reflux? I know that those can lead to contact ulcers/granulomas on the vocal fold and that can cause pain/irritation in the laryngeal region.

Do you have a fever?? If you do, it's viral/bacterial. Viral stuff can't be helped with antibiotics, as you probably already know - lots of fluids, rest, Tylenol/advil for the fever,etc. If it's bacterial, you get antibiotics, do the salt water gargle, etc.

If no fever, there's just a bunch of stuff it "could be", but speculating on all that will just scare you unnecessarily.

Your best bet is to see a doctor ASAP, even if you have to go to a walk-in clinic, because she/he can put your mind at ease that you don't have some freak thing going on.

Feel better soon!
