What Causes Painful Swollen Tonsils And Fever?
I just woke up with painful swollen tonsils, and feel feverish a well. I am concerned about going back to sleep. Am I being overly concerned? I have garled with warm salt water, and it has eased some of the pain, but the tonsils just seem to be a little to enflamed to me.

please dont worry and meet your doctor as you may have developed an infection and may need antibiotics for it. for the meantime you can continue your warm saline gargles and can sleep . please meet his as soon as you can tomorrow!!
Take care!!
