It feels like I'm dying.

Another medical advice thread.

9 days ago I was eating dinner with my grandmother. On the way home from the restaurant, I felt a sharp pain in my inner ear/tonsil area. I also got a headache and became drowsy. I went home, slept. When i woke up the next day i looked at my tonsils and they were very inflamed, more red than before, and semi covered in mucous. The headache's have gone away, and im not as drowsy as before. But my tonsils are still very inflamed and my right one hurts very badly. I wake up every few hours during the night. It is difficult and painful to breathe/swallow. I have been gargling salt water a few times a day for the past few days. It seems to sooth the pain a little for a while.

I have no insurance. I thought this might blow over but its been a while and its starting to bother me more and more. What is the best way to get this taken care of? How much will it cost me?

Thank you,
DB
