Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Swollen Tonsils
I have a sore throat and thought it may be from the weather change. Tonight, it feels like strep. Swallowing is hard, I have had really dark urine, and my tonsils are very swollen with white pus bulges on them. I am a teacher, 22 yrs old, 5'6" and 150 lbs. I am also doing a detox right now for kidneys and other organs. Does this sound like strep?
