Strep Throat: I am unsure what you are really asking, but this scenario or situation is the very description of when someone must get to the doctor. There is little to do other than strongly encourage you to your clinic tomorrow.

Med eval.: If you have a significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see your medical provider ; get a strep throat test ; culture. Saltwater gargles are helpful. Mix a tsp of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle w this several times/day. You can gargle w aloe vera juice a couple of times per day. A mix of chamomile tea w honey ; a small amount of lemon juice is good.
