Strep throat?
My throat is all swollen and sore. Its very hard to swallow, breath, and I cant talk anymore. I'm freezing cold; even during my volleyball game, when everyone was sweating and it was so hot. I haven't eaten in a few days, cause nothing will go down without excruciating pain.
I can't get to the doctor until Monday,
has anyone else had this? Is it just strep?

Sounds like strep. You should probly go to the hospital before monday so you can get antibiotics.

Hi,
No one can tell you if you have strep throat or an infection caused by some other bacteria/virus until you get a culture at the Dr's office.
However, your certainly have the symptoms.
Thinking it's "Just Strep" could be dangerous, and if you've had the symptoms for several days you've already let it go on to long without treatment. The only way to get better and aid in the prevention of secondary complications is to get treatment with antibiotics.
Yes, I've had strep throat and it's miserable! I opted to take an injection of Penicillin vs 10 days worth of pills, and I got better within 24 hours.
Could you consider going to an urgent care clinic since today is Saturday? Knowing how miserable I was when I had this I couldn't have waited. I even took one of my kids to ER on a friday night for strep throat.

Might be just a sore throat but if its strep you'll need some medicine to get rid of it. Strep
throat is nothing to mess with and can get quite
serious if untreated.
In the meantime this site has some tips for home care that might make you more comfortable until Monday. :)
