PTA: Possibly a peritonsillar abscess? Hard to tell without seeing you. Keep following up with your doctors. They will figure it out.

Swollen gland: Likely what you are describing is something called lymphadenopathy, which is swelling and inflammation of lymph nodes. This can lead to pain and can be aggravated by movement, depending on the location of the swollen lymph node. Generally speaking, most lymphadenopathy is caused by infectious processes. This could be viral or bacterial. See an ear nose and throat doctor if not already.

Should i go to the er? The doctor thinks I have mono, i got a mono and strep test done, both coming back negative, but the doctor says a mono test will usually come back negative in the first week. I have sore lymph-nods on my right hip, armpits and neck.
Do I have mono if I've had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for over two weeks with my throat getting more sore over time? I don't feel extremely tired
