Lump in neck
On sunday evening i went to bed with a stuffy nose ang in the morning i woke up with body aches and chills and a sore throat. i look at my throat in the mirror and notice pus starting on my tonsils. the next day my tonsils are covered in pus, painful to swallow. body aches and chills continue so i went to the doctor and it was negative for strep. 2 days later my symptoms aren’t getting better so i go back and they tested me for mono which was negative. later that day i noticed a lump on the side
