Q: Swollen, White Tonsils & Swollen Lymph Nodes

Hello,
Alright I have had a fever for a few weeks, it only comes at night and wasn't too serious (about 98.7). Lately it has gone up to 99.2 regularly at night.
Last weekend my left tonsil was completely swollen, and my throat was a little sore. It hurt to swallow, but I could speak without pain. Last Tuesday, both my tonsils were swollen and there were white patches on my right tonsil and the lymph nodes on my neck were swollen. On wednesday I saw my doc and she tested me for strep throat and for mono. Both tests were negative.
My doctor prescribed me Azithromycin (the Z-pack) and I almost finished the prescription.
So basically I am not sure what's wrong with me and the doctor was not able to tell me either.
Throughout the whole thing is seems very inconsistent, one hour I have tons of energy and then the next I can barely move.
My lymph nodes and tonsils are swollen (now it looks like there is a bump behind the left tonsil that is covered in smaller white spots) and I have a fever and fatigue. My neck and back have been a little more sore than usual but other than that I do not have any clear symptoms and my throat is not sore.


Does anyone know what this could be?
I think part of the reason it's not getting better is that I am worrying about what it could be! scared

Thank you.

Also I am a 20 y/o female who is generally good health.

Seems like you've got a low-grade throat infection. Fever indicates that your body is fighting something.

Are you still experiencing these symptoms?
