Today i missed school for it and i had a temp of 99.9 and it felt like my head was heavy i was real fatigued and tired, and it hurt like hell to swallow. this is like the 100th time ive had a problem outta my throat. this past year ive been havin sore throats and a bunch of times wen my voice disappeared. but anyways does anyone know if wat i have right now is strep or mono or just a cold. i will list the symptoms

-sore throat
-red swollen throat
-difficulty and pain with swallowing
-fever
-tiredness and fatigue
-headache(sometimes at the same time my throat is hurting)

i have tried tylenol, throat spray, and cough drops. does anyone have any suggestions? please respond ASAP i am 17 and i am still in school so i cant afford to miss any more days 4 this

Ok the drugs you are taking will only treat the symptoms so you won't get any better. Plus being up at 12:18AM will not make you get any better faster...sorry I know how hard it is to sleep when you feel like ****.

Nobody can really diagnose what you have by those symptoms they are just to generic, which is a good thing because it is probably nothing serious. I would goto an ENT specialist and have you tonsils checked out, and checked for strep, mono and laryngitis.

Keep in mind there is all sorts of **** that can get stuck in your tonsils that can cause this and only a doc and prescribe antibiotics.
