MY THROAT HURTS!

It’s been three days that my throat is bugging me. It hurts and it hurts more at night. Maybe because my mind and my body are not that busy that I can really pay attention to the pain. I might be getting a cold? I hate colds. I did not take medicine for this. I’m not really sure what kind of medicine is good for this. But I drink a lot of water and I hope it will help because I don’t want to get sick.
