What can I do for strep throat and tonsillitis?The doctor isn't there until Monday.
My throat HURTS and is red, my lymph nodes are swollen, I have a headache and a possible fever (We do not own a thermometer). I looked at my tonsils, and they have white patches.
Is there any home remedies I can use just to reduce the pain besides gargling with salt water?

Tylenol, but do not overdose on it.

Lozenges would help. Have you had strep throat in the past? Even with white patches on the tonsils, this may not be a strep infection, although you should have it cultured on Monday. Popsicles are also good to relieve the inflammation and pain, and there are also throat sprays that help.
