You need a tonsillectomy, then you’ll be fine.
Sounds like you need to go back to the doctor. Fever can cause all those other pains and feeling faint. Drink a lot of water and take tylenol.
your tonsils will have to be taken out – it’s a minor procedure, alot of kids/adults have it done.
I used to get recurring tonsillitis. I went to see a throat specialist and asked him if he could just remove them because I was tired of them always getting infected. He agreed to do it.
I was 19 or 20 I think at the time. I spent 1 or 2 nights in the hospital. It’s considered a more serious of a procedure for adults than for kids.
They gave me liquid perks for the pain and you WILL be eating a lot of ice cream, as swallowing is quite unpleasant for the first week afterwards.
I am glad I had them removed. I barely ever get sore throats or strep any more.
Hope it works out for you.
