My 4 yr old daughter has had a sore throat for a couple weeks & she has very swollen tonsils. she does not want to eat anything. negative strep test. what else could it be?

Mono is one of many viral causes of this pattern. The test is often negative until they have had it several weeks in kids that age. Treatment is watchful waiting and comfort measures/nutrition.
