Back of throats red congestion in nose uvula looks like it's almost touching my tounge tonsils are swollen what could this be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: Either tonsillitis,uvula inflammation, strep, mono or an abscess. The best advice is to be seen at an urgent care or your family doctor today for appropriate testing, history, physical and treatment.
