And I think I have strep throat. My tonsils are swollen, I am nauseous, having fever/chill switches, no appetite, and body aches.

I may be dying.

    Could be worse, could be pinkeye.

    We all know how that worked out for southpark.

    I know someone who got a yeast infection in their throat...I'd get checked for that as well.

    Do you have a will? It's time to start getting your affairs in order. Clearly your days are numbered.

    Fever?

    Strep is a bacterial infection. You always have a fever with strep. Could be low-grade though.

    I think you need an emergency vasectomy to remove your tonsils.

    Good point. Let the heirs fight it out. Any last wishes?

    Localized swelling can happen if you engage in certain rough extra curricular activities. Sorry bro. :\

    Vasectomy for sure. I think the Motivation & Support forum has a sticky on a DIY vasectomy.

    Are you sure you aren't mixing your testicles up with your tonsils?

    I should also note that ibuprofen helped to take down the swelling yesterday, but it came back around midnight and woke me up

    You should probably go on a diet...if that doesn't work, try eating clean!

    One more thing, gargle with warm salt water. It's only temporary, but it will help. You poor dear!
