 [ Symptoms ] why does smoking hookah sometimes cause a sore throat [ Disease ] i know this was a year ago so i am answering it only because if someone else has similar symptoms he or she may see this your description most closely matches that of a severe uti probably a raging kidney infection and if you did not go to an emergency department of a local hospital for immediate treatment i hate to think what would have happened to you by now i used to get them a lot in fact last time i was in the hospital they discovered i had a uti i hope you got treatment anyone with your symptoms should consider them a true emergency we human beings cannot live without our kidneys
