What Causes A Sore Throat With Swollen Tonsils?
My 16 y.o.daughter has a sore throat and her tonsils are really swollen. She's has no fever but hurts when she swallows, says it hurts her lungs when she breathes deep. She's been to the Dr. About 4 times for this but her strep tests all come back negative. Not even lozenges help with the pain. When do i know I should take her to e.r. or should I wait until tuesday when Drs office is open again?
