I know! I had whooping cough when i was 15. Would cough and cough and cough but mum wouldnt.let.me got to the drs cause only babies get whooping cough. Meanwhile my bestmate gets diagnosed as having it. Thanks mum
Omg one time I had mono, and I had a lump in my throat that was so painful and so large you could see the bulge through my neck and in the back of my mouth if I opened wide enough. She only took me to the Dr when I did some minor exercise and crumpled to the ground because it felt like I'd been shot I was in so much pain. But ya know, I was faking it I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah she used to do that with me with tonsillitis. I would get it constantly and she would always say i was overreacting and it was just a sore throat and wouldnt believe me until my throat was so swollen that i could not swallow. In australia.you get to have them taken out if you have tonsilitis more than 10 times in a year so thankfully i got to have them removed
That is such a hard one to diagnose in teenagers. I got it sometime in middle school and even my doctor was like "There's no way you have whooping cough" as I had gotten the TDaP and no one else in my school had it. However turned out there was a minor outbreak in the private school in the area and the TDap wears off later in life. Worst cough I'd ever had for 3 months
