Hi all. I likely had either tonsillitis or strep a week or so ago (very sore throat, white patches) for which the GP prescribed antibiotics. It seemed to clear up, and besides a residual cough, I was feeling mostly normal. Over the past few days I've developed a very painful and tight feeling, particularly when swallowing, on the left side of my throat. The pain is now really bad, and I'm worried it's something like quinsy. I feel fine otherwise though - no viral symptoms or fever. I tried having a look down my throat and it looks basically normal to me.
Would quinsy be something you can see? It's so painful to even talk.
