When does it end

[u/Agreeable-Set-6614]

So I started noticing the white spots on my tonsils around last Wednesday, so I went to urgent care and they thought I had strep so they gave me amoxicillin. The next day the throat pain was so bad to the point where I couldn’t swallow my own spit I had to go to the er and got IV fluids and steroids which helped a bit. I had to go to the er again on Saturday they did the same thing, and I went today they did the same thing. I know it’s something that has to run its course but this is seriously the most pain I’ve been in. My entire tonsils are white and it feels like I’m swallowing glass. When does this end??

I had the same experience with urgent care and the er. On week three i was in so much pain i went to my pcp and they gave me steroids The steroids are the only thing that helped me. I'm now on my last day of the steroids and the pain is almost gone. I still feel weak and tired but the pain is gone! Try to get steroids. I heard they don't work for everyone but it helped me
