Ok, so I think my tonsil is trying to escape out of my ear... at least that's what if feels like anyway. I had no choice but to go to a walk in clinic today, without insurance, to get it checked out. $220 later, they don't know what the problem is. My tonsil is swollen, causing it and my ear to hurt, but they don't know why. They did a throat culture, but I won't get the results back for a few days. In the mean time all I can do is take ibuprofen and gargle with salt water. YUCK! I wish I had someone to take care of me!
