My tonsils and throat are extremely swollen.?!
Question: It looks my throat is barely open, my tonsils are red and inflamed. There are what looks like white pus pockets on them. They are sore but not painful, however it is extremely uncomfortable to eat/drink. My left lymph node in my neck feels sore. I have no health insurance, is this someting that will go away or should I be on antibiotics or ? Do you think this could be strep, mono, etc?

It sounds like strep throat or tonsillitits- I would recommend going to a doctor and getting some antibiotics- if it is infected, it could abscess or even worse. Why risk your health?
I have had tonsilitus and what you have goes with what I felt during it. Go to your doctor.
Sounds like strep to me. I don't know much about Mono.
I had strep a few years back and no insurance. I had to go through medical and they helped me to get antibiotics. It took two weeks for it to fully go away and my tonsils have never been the same.
tonsilitus goes away by it's self. that's what it sounds like
I used to get it so often. just drink warm drinks
and eat ice cream to soothe
and honey and lemon drinks help soothe and have an antibacterial affect.
Well you did the right thing first....you contact total strangers on the internet to diagnose your throat (which we cannot see) and your tonsils.
Since we cannot see or hear you, would you (just a thought) consider seeing a doctor?
No health insurance? You have to borrow money or go to a public health agency for treatment. DON'T LET THIS GO!!!
