Throat
Ok I asked a question earlier about my throat. The doctor won't take me until tomorrow & I'm going crazy. I don't know what it is.
-I feel physically sick
-Heads heavy
-Throats extremely heavy; hurts if I move it & hurts if I touch my glands
-Glands in neck are swollen
-There's so much white on my tonsils/back of throat. It's basically covered
-It's so painful to eat/talk/swallow/do nothing. I feel my throat throbbing just sitting here
-Ear ache. My ears hurt when I swallow also.
-I'm starting to get a bit hot
Does anyone have any idea what this is? I tried 2 cups of tea, tylenol cold/sore throat liquid medicine, hard candies, ludens, vick's throat spray, gargling, hot soup, icecream, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas what this is or any other remedies that might work?
Thanks!!

There are a few possiblity's, it could be tonsilitis, strep throat, a sinus infection, upper respitory infection, or a combination of the few.
try putting a cough drop in tea, with honey if it's not sweet enough for you.
since you mentioned your lymphnodes- check out these websites.

Im am not a doctor but this is exactly what me and my cousin were feeling last year the day after we got back from a water park, it was called coxsackie virus and it was becuase the water was not clean it was like contaminited or someting but i think it doesnt have to be water it can be any contaminated surface that you get it from. It went away fast adn i had to use medication but in the mean time i had tea adn used all those throat medicines

What is your temperature? If it climbs above 102 you had better get yourself to a hospital. Don't take any asprin, only tylenol. Hopefully it is just tonsilitis, which is a bad infection in your tonsils, and the anti-biotics that he will put you on will make it go away. Just watch your temperature. Don't let it get too high. Tylenol should bring it down, but if it is too bad, tylenol won't work. So go to the ER tonight if you can't keep your temperature down. You don't want to end up with meningitis, which is an infection of the spinal fluid. It can even go to your brain. In fact, do you have a head ache, That is not a good sign, either, along with these other symptoms. If you get a headache and have a temp, go to the ER!

The white sounds like strep throat. The only thing that will cure that is antibiotics. Gargle with warm salt water because it will help make you more comfortable and can help kill the bacteria. There's nothing else, really, you can do. :( Sometime strep throat comes with a headache, stomachache, and rash as well as the symptoms you mentioned. I hope your appointment goes well.
