Laryngitis or Tonsillitis?!


Question:

Laryngitis or Tonsillitis?

These are my symptoms, day-by-day: (Im a young teen btw)
Friday: I woke up and I had pain when swallowing. Keep in mind, on Thursday I just had a friend come over and we didn't do anything much; but she wasn't sick. On Friday, I drank a lot of water and I didn't feel the pain when swallowing as much. Later, it came back.

Saturday: Same thing as yesterday. I wake up with a headache and pain with swallowing. it lasted throughout the day, except when I was under the influence of tylenol. I felt sickly in some parts of the day. When I went in the pool, I felt better; then later it came back.

Today (Sunday)- I had trouble sleeping, and when I woke up I couldn't speak without making strange noises; but I could whisper. I went into my mom's room and she said it was most likely larangytis. It was hell, hell, hell for a couple of hours. I could barely speak. Then a couple hours after I woke up, I could just barely speak in a normal voice.

For breakfast I had toast, water, and some bacon. After breakfast, I gargled with warm water & salt, and then had a Vitamin C pill. I can still just barely talk in a normal voice. Then, my Mom and I became concerned that it may be tonsilitis. My mom looked at my tonsils and saw something different from my healthy sisters tonsils. I will try to get a picture. There weren't enormous white dots, but she thought it may have been small white dots. it could've also been saliva reflecting because of the flashlight.

Answers:

How about Strep throat? That is another possibility which has the same symptoms. But the determining factor is to see weather or not your tonsils are swollen. A doctor's visit seems like a logical course of action.
