You have bacterial tonsillitis. If the urgent care folks prescribed an antibiotic, make sure to complete the course of treatment. It was not the type of bacterium that lab tested for but still a streptococcus. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
