Things You Don't Want to Hear Your Physician Mom Say To You After You Describe Your Symptoms Which Are Strangely Ongoing And In Fact Worsening After 2 Days of Antibiotics:
"...I wonder if you don't have mono."
NO
DO NOT WANT
If there is a kind, gentle God lurking somewhere in heaven, I will call in tomorrow for the results of my culture and the nurse will laughingly tell me "haha, oh dear child, it's only bacterial! A day of patience and all will be mended."
Ladies and gentlemen, it is not a good sign when "it's only bacterial" seems like a great thing to hear.

EDIT: strep it is! Apparently I have some wacky black-sheep strain that is known for evasiveness. Original to the last, ladies and gents. I am now on antibiotics from the 22nd century and will hopefully be human by the end of the week.
Upon examining the exciting colors that have developed on my tonsils in the last few days, my doctor's comment was "Wow. You should take a picture of that and send it to your mama."
The word "necrotic" might have been involved in there somewhere, too.
