What does it feel like when you need your tonsils taken out?!
Question: For about a week now the back of my throat/mouth hurts. When I swallow, cough, sometime eat. I dont know if it has anything to do with my tonsils, so I am just curious.
Before anybody suggests just going to the doctor, let me tell you that I have 3 kids who are my priority in life and I have no medical coverage for myself. Just them. So I cannot spend money by just going to the doctor unless it is an absolute emergency. So any thoughts to this would help. Thank you so much!

You might have strep throat. If you can get a flash light and look in the mirror, check and see if the back of your throat has changed colors. Also look to see if the tissue on each side of your throat towards the back looks swollen and red. If so thats tonsillitis. If you have a fever then you may have an infection. The only thing you can do is go to an ER and get a prescription for an antibiotic. I know you nave no medical coverage but see if you can work out a payment plan if possible. If you dont treat it , it could get worse and if you do have to go in for emergency treatment, even surgery its gonna cost alot more money. If you dont have a fever then keep drinking alot of fluid and some tylenol or ibuprofen and see if that clears it up.
