Ok so I was just diagnosed with this problem and I can't eat or drink anything. The pain is horrible. Is there anything I can do to suppress the pain just for a couple hours or an,hour just to eat or drink. I havnt actaully eaten in almost 5 days because of this. the hospital let me go last night because they found out what, was causing me pain. All they gave me was Lidocaine 2% 3 bottles for I don't know what reason I guess for my throat because that's what they said I went in for...which isn't the reason.. and .fluconazole 100mg..and taking the pills is fine and all but I'm still in and pain and hungy
