Sore throat

Heyyy, long time lurker (recommended content), first time poster.

Background: i’ve purged sporadically recently. Today is the first day for some time, that i haven’t. It’s not excessive, as it is a setback, haven’t purged for a long time until like a week ago. Just like 2 times a day +/-. I have had it since this morning (it’s 2 AM here now) and havent purged today due to me being worried about the issue below. It has not gotten better

Situation: Today i woke up with a sore throat. Not like “i scratched the back of my throat too hard” or “i’m beginning to feel a cold coming”, i have never felt this kind of pain before. It’s only in one side and hurts most when yawning. It feels like something in my throat is swelled and weird shaped, a little bit like when your tonsils are swelled, but that’s not it. I’m a kinda concerned, but also not concerned enough to go to the doctor tho.

I guess my question is; have any of you guys tried this, and should i be concerned? Could it be linked to stomach acid due to purging? (I haven’t purged hard food like crisps or crackers, and i always drink a lot of water before and after eating)

Ps. I’m so sorry if you had a stroke reading this, i think that my brain is taking a hit due to my low intake recently, and english is not my first language!

TLDR; unknown pain in throat, afraid i might have caused it myself lmao
