what if the swelling in my tonsils is going down.. and my throat is starting to feel better on just the second day.. does the white stuff still indicate something serious?

Get checked for strep throat---it's contagious.

It's not uncommon. You probably have tonsilitis. Go to the doctor before you develop a severe fever which could give you seizures, damage your heart and brain, and shorten your life.

You definitely have strep throat! See a Doctor!

You need to have a throat culture to determine what the infection is from. If you have a fever please see someone immediately because strep can spread quickly. Remember Jim Henson? He had strep that was untreated.

You may have strep throat. I would definitely go to my doctor and let them have a look.

Sounds like streph, you need to go to the doctor and get a throat swab.

Sounds like strep throa but you need to get a swab taken to confirm it. You'll need some antibiotics.
