See your doctor.: I cannot tell your age from your post which could be important here. This could be mono. Less likely and more dangerous could be an abscess behind the tonsils (but most would not tolerate this that long). Even less likely and even more dangerous would be a type of cancer (lymphoma). See your doctor.
