URI: Winter's not over yet. Upper respiratory infection. Viruses, strep are still very common this time of year. Tonsils are immune tissues in the back of the throat that tend to be involved; much of the immune response will start there. Think about whether there's the possibility of strep throat - if so call for an appointment at your local provider. Rapid strep tests are very accurate.

Seasonal flu: is very common viral infection. Usually the condition resolves on its own with home care. Drink water and get a good rest. NSAIDs (e.g. Aleve, Advil) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) are also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP for examination.
