Needs re-examination: Need to rapidly exclude complications such as quinsy or deep space abscess if worsening pain. See below for general information: http://www.news-medical.net/health/Tonsillitis-Complications.aspx Please see a doctor licensed in your area urgently to exclude these potentially serious possibilities.

Need reevaluation: I would see your doctor again. Mono is a common cause of sore throat and it doesn't respond to antibiotics.
