Its it possible to get post nasal drip from acute bronchitis? help!!! im sick with a sore throat!!?

a week ago i got over most of my symptoms of my chest cold(which i had for 2 weeks) except for coughing. yesterday morning i woke up with a really bad sore throat. then a few hours later i had an orthodontist apointment. we took my tempurature yesterday and it was 99.5 so i had a small fever. when ever i swallowed it hurt my ears and the area right beneath my ears so i took tylenol. this morning i woke up to find that my sore throat was mostly gone the only problem was when i swallowed it still hurt!!! i took my temp and my fever was basically gone with a temp of 98.7 and 99(i took my tempurature twice). i can sit here and have it not hurt but as soon as i swallow it hurts. my throat doesnt look to red and my tonsils only look a tad puffy. whats up? tomarow i leave early in the morning for my vication to wisconsin to see my family there. everyone doubts i have strep throat( my stepmom is a nurse) but then wat is going on?...i just took some tylenol again but it doesnt seem to help much.....
