I am feeling very sick, I have a sharp pain in my right tonsil and a fever. Am I in life threating danger? Should I go to the hospital?

Dear Father, I ask that you will guide this man to do whatever is neccesary in regards to his health and that You will watch over this situation and can use it for the Glory of Your kingdom. IN Yeshua's name I ask, Amen.

If you do, you may want to make an appointment with an ear, nose and throat specialist. You may have to have them removed. A tonsilectomy isn't scary, I had them out a couple of years ago, no big deal, just uncomfortable.

(tho this is 4 years old; it remains useful today) -
"probably"  - I'd find myself a different MD; one who does a *C & S*; aka Culture & Sensitivity.
They swab your thoat, and put it in a Culture-dish, to see if any BACTERIA are growing.
If yes, they run tests to determine, exactly what kinds of ANTI-biotics
will kill the critters, that have no place in your body.
If no bacteria grow - then it's most likely "not serious"
Good Luck!
Annie
