Tight throat

Question

Tight throat

Asked for Female, 17 Years

For the past four days my throat has been feeling tight, my lymph nodes around my neck are swollen too. My neck is really killing me but I'm sure that's from the way I sleep. I have no problem swallowing unless I think about it too much and I can eat fine. It almost feel like I've pulled a muscle but in my throat. Thursday I had smoked for the first time in a week, I often smoke maybe four times a month.
