I have a very sore throat, one side, and a noticable white spot, almost pus-like, on tonsil, same side. it's 1am. can i wait till tomorrow to be seen?

Yes, you can wait: Try hot salt water gargle. Alternate with straight 3% hydrogen peroxide gargle. Also, try an over the counter cough drop (Hall's, Cepacol, etc) to ease the discomfort. High-dose Vitamin D3 may help--I recommend 10,000 IU/day, until you are well. Then cut to 5,000 IU per day. Should be able to get most of this stuff in an all-night drug store or convenience store.
