I started feeling bad on 8/11/16. Sore throat, blisters on back of throat and tonsils, tonsils swollen and tender, I have tonsil stones all the time, but my tonsils feel overly irritated and sore. Ears are sore and itch constantly (right one more than the left one) Headache, neck ache, sever fatigue (all I want to do is sleep and the least little task wears me out - I literally begin to expel air through my mouth like you do when you are lifting weights if a task takes longer than a minute or two) I missed work on Friday 8/12/16. Was late for work Monday. Went to Dr on Monday 8/15/16. He took a swab and prescribed 875 mg of amoxicillin, which has not done any good. I was also severly late Wednesday t work. It is a fight to get up every morning (I am usually a morning person) The swab came back negative for bacteria. I still feel severely fatigued and my aches (ear head throat and neck) are still just as sever as ever. I had a fever but have been taking alka seltzer cold and flu so the fever seems to be at bay. Dr. wants me to come back in for a Mono test but I had mono when I was in High School. Dr also scheduled me a referral to an ENT dr but they can not see me until Sept 28th. Do I just need to tough this out? It has been 11 days. I am extremely tired of feeling extremely tired and sore. Please advise. Thank you.
