How can you tell the difference between strep and tonsillitis without going to the doctors?My throat has been hurting since yesterday morning. I woke up in the morning and got a drink, because sometimes my mouth gets dry at night. I didn't think anything of it in the morning(that it has hard to swallow) because when my mouth is dry, it often hurts to swallow. By second hour 2 1/2 hours after I woke up, it still hurt. i got through the day, barely, and as soon as i got home I went to sleep because it hurt so bad(not to mention I slept in my 3rd and 4th hours, and all during 1st hour i was laying down. I slept from about 3:30 yesterday afternoon until about 6 this morning, and I laid in bed until 11:30 because i hurt too much to want to get out of bed. It still hurts to swallow, but I had to eat lunch because I haven't ate anything in over 29 hours. It hurts so bad to eat, and even if I'm not eating, my throat still hurts. It is mostly on just my right side, but it is moving to my right side too a little bit, but doesn't hurt as bad on the left side. I was going to have my dad take me to the doctors today, but he works 30 minutes from my house, then from my house it's another 15 min drive to the doctors. he gets out of work at 3:30, but already has a doctors appointment scheduled for 4. How serious is this if I can't get into the doctors until friday? could something bad happen.

You can't.

The only way to find out if you have strep or if your symptoms are being caused by something else is to see a doctor.
