Hello my tonsils are inflamed and i'm wondering if i should go to the er now or wait til the morning it's hard to shallow and loosing voice?

If it worries you,go: If you "wonder" about the ER, the only options you should consider are (1) going now (since the ER is always open), or (2) waiting to see your regular doctor. I don't know the office hours of your regular doctor, nor can I tell if he/she takes "walk-ins" (unscheduled patients). You can use HealthTap Prime as a substitute for your regular doctor, but "waiting to go to ER" isn't a logical plan.
