Can only swallow yogurt, liquids over a week-Swollen throat, discomfort

Back of my throat is swollen. unable to swallow other than water, yogurt and warm/cold fluids for over a week. No strep throat. No tonsils. Any ideas what it can be? I have mucus in throat, nasal and left ear. Regular Dr. put me on Levaquin, Nexum and Tussicaps but doesn't know what's causing problem.

Yes I do have fatigue/swollen glands. Also some congestion in my left ear. I have an appt for an ENT this coming Tuesday. Thank you for your reply.

Are you having any other symptoms such as fatigue or tender/swollen glands? Are you having trouble breathing? I had a swollen throat about 5 years ago and it turned out to be mono. If it persists, I would suggest seing an ENT. Hope you feel better soon!
