Tonsilitis do i need to see gp?

[fairywing]

I have had a headache for almost 2 weeks now and swollen glands and tonsils since Monday. My neck is tender to touch and move as well as my actual tonsils being sore. Yesterday i noticed i now have white patches on my tonsils. The pain is a little better over the last couple of days but i am exhausted have constanc mucus in my throat and still have the headache and the swelling. Should i try to get to see gp this aft or early next week for some ab's or if the pain is a little better is there no point now?? Can't decide what to do and don't want to waste gp's time if indeed i manage to get in.

Go.
Could it be glandular fever, btw, or have you already had it?
Ask to be tested for it.

no never had it...hope not!

I would make an appointment for ab's if the mucus is still there it sounds like a nasty bout.

If you cant get an appointment until next week you can always cancel if you're better by then.

Managed to get in on Monday at 3.30, will battle on till then!
