Hi i have a killer sore throat and i checked my tonsils with a torch and there is puss on the surface. should i go see a doctor now or wait a bit?

Could b strep throat: Go see your doctor. A rapid strep test, or a throat culture, will give you the answer. Strep throat can appear as throat pain, or fever, or abdominal pain! It should be treated with antibiotics if it is strep.
