What is up with my throat?

Coughed up brown phlegm from my throat after a very sore throat for a whole day, what is wrong with me?

  • Yesterday I woke up with a very sore throat. I thought it would go away but over the course of the day it only got worse. I ate a couple popsicles and drank some pop because they both kinda numbed the pain in my throat and eventually I took some ibuprofen and that seemed to help some. Then I went to bed with only a mildly sore throat. I kept waking up in the night and swallowing and then my throat seemed better during those times (it had hurt extremely badly to swallow before) and this morning I woke up and I blew my nose and tried to see if I had any drainage from my sinuses. I ended up spitting out two fairly large brownish-red chunks from my nasal/throat cavity and they were almost solid. It freaked me out. And today my throat still hurts but not quite as bad as yesterday. Do I have a sinus infection or strep or something worse?
