Hello.
I'm 21 years old, female, I'm worried about the fact that I might have tonsillitis and I don't know if it's bacteria or a virus, I do have a cold right now, I am sneezing but my throat isn't sore, i just feel that my tonsils are a bit swollen when i lower my head and I'm wondering if it could be E coli because I'm living in the house with an older person who has an urinary infection with E coli and doesn't really keep the hygiene as he is an older person. Could it be a coincidence that I have this cold and could I have contacted the bacteria? The swollen feeling started 3-4 days after the cold symptoms started. And I'm also worried that I can't take ibuprofen or aspirin as I'm allergic to them.
