[QUOTE="CutBaitNBlowSh*tUp4ALivin, post: 3833696, member: 2106"] So Thursday I woke up with a mildly sore throat. Didn't effect eating, drinking, sleeping or breathing so I ignored it. It got a little bit worse Friday afternoon, of course after the doctor is closed. Went to urgent care yesterday morning with one tonsil swollen enough to be able to touch my uvula, and they want to swab for strep and mono and I'm just like....can I get some antibiotics and 800mg ibuprofen? They still swabbed for everything they could charge me for and sent cultures off (72 hour wait). Negative on mono and strep. Last night was hell on earth. Wake up and it's even more swollen, and covered with white lumps. Having extreme difficulty eating, drinking, and sleeping. Can't seem to regulate body temperature. I was either way too hot or way too cold. Been in bed or on couch pretty much since yesterday morning. Have any of y'all had your tonsils removed AS AN ADULT? I've heard it's way worse to go thru a tonsillectomy as an adult but it can't be worse than what I'm going through now, can it? If this spreads to my other tonsil like it did last time it was this bad (in 2007) I may very well be hospitalized on IVs. In 07, I was bedridden for 21 days. I lost my job and 74 pounds. I tested positive for strep, mono, and tonsillitis back then. [/QUOTE]
