You : You may be dealing with strep throat, which requires antibiotic treatment. In addition the "pea sized red ball" near your tonsil is worrisome as it may represent the beginning of a peritonsilar abscess, which is a very serious issue. You should see your doctor right away for an examination, testing, and treatment as deemed necessary. If your symptoms are worsening and your fever persists or increases, go to your local urgent care or er. In the meantime, try over the counter advil (ibuprofen) or Ibuprofen and warm salt gargles to relieve the pain. I hope you are better soon.
