I'm feeling really under the weather and have all the symptoms of strep throat, but my family is saying it's just a seasonal cold. I'm not so sure though. Could you help me figure out if it might actually be strep?

Question

I'm really worried about my friend; they have this pain on the right side of their ear every time they chew. What could be the reason for this, and what can they do about it?

I've been dealing with nasal congestion and a sore throat for a while now. I've noticed yellow bumps at the back of my throat, and my tonsils are swollen and look like they're ripped or something. What do you think could be causing this, and how should I handle it?

Question

I've had swollen tonsils for the past three days, but no other symptoms or discomfort. My doctor gave me Ceftum 500, but it hasn't made a difference, so now I'm on a five-day course of Augmentin 625. Could the swelling be from a viral infection instead of a bacterial one? How long does it usually take for tonsillitis to clear up? By the way, I'm a 28-year-old male.
