I'm feeling better now but I got sick again this past week. I had tonsillitis and one night I had my throat almost swell shut. I was breathing through a pea sized hole and kept drinking water which was extremely painful to keep it open until urgent care opened up in a couple of hours because there was no way in hell I was going to the ER. Well It was viral and I essentially just had to wait it out. but the next day started to feel a lot better anyway.
I was told not to talk a lot until I felt better again. Two days later I feel like I can talk again and I can eat and swallow and BREATHE.

I feel fantastic now. I'm still not 100% but I'm way better than I was a couple nights ago.
