Okay, Im 13 and my throat started feeling scratchy and sore. Ive had streph before. It feels more like its on the right side and when I asked my mom she had her boyfriend look and he said my tonsils looked a bit swollen. Sometimes it feels like its makeing it hard for me to breathe, occasionally it burns a bit and it feels like its making my right ear hurt like its connected to it in some way. Now my left side is starting to hurt. My doctor however is away on spring break (jerk!) and the only other option is to go to a clinic and wait for 3 hours to be seen. I just want to make sure I absolutely should go before I waste all that time there. btw, its worse when I go to sleep and wake up...But that maybe because I have to breathe through my mouth because my nose is stopped up. Help!
