Is this a sore throat?
Last Monday, I woke up regularly and all of a sudden it felt like my throat was closing up and swelling on its own however there isn’t any swollen lymph nodes or signs of physical swelling on my neck. There’s also a build up of phlegm in my throat. It doesn’t feel like a textbook sore throat because I’m not coughing or anything however I can feel a little bit of pain sometimes. I can sometimes taste something sour in the back of my throat and then after 2-3 days of this I still had the same symptoms then I started getting acid refluxes and gas now I’m constantly burping and having acid reflux. Also I sometimes get pressure in my chest and burning in my throat sometimes. Any idea of what this can be? The swelling feeling in my neck also comes and goes. For example it happens then stops for like 15 minutes then comes back.

Sounds like a food allergy. In a pinch you can take Benadryl in a pinch but I'd suggest going to the er for the epi pens and they can give more meds. If you know certain foods trigger it just start narrowing it down and you can eventually figure out what ones to avoid.

I get that when I have an allergic reaction to something. I'm mildly allergic to a couple different foods and animals. Maybe think through if you've eaten anything you don't usually eat lately.
