I'm running a lowgrade fever and have had a really sore throat for over 48 hours and it hurts to move my jaw. could this be strep as i have no tonsils?

You can still have: Strep throat if you don't have tonsils. For significant sore throat with swollen lymph nodes – see physician ; get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have strep throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day.
