Q: Swollen Tonsils/ear Pain/rash On Neck

Since november I have been experiancing symptoms similar to strep but my throat is not so much sore, its swollen. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed it as tonsilitis and put me on an antibiotic. It came back two weeks later and I went back to the doctor just to receive the same diagnoses and another antibiotic. Since then the white spots have gone away but my tonsils have remained swollen. I have naturally large tonsils as it is and now they are even bigger. Now, ive noticed I have bumps on the back of my tongue near my tonsils, but they do not hurt or pus. It also seems as if I have a bump on the back of my right tonsil. It is somewhat hard to see since it is the back of it and all. Along with all that, ihave a slight rash on both sides of my neck. They look like hives but dont hurt or itch, but may have a connection with my throat issues. There is now also a stretchy, thin layer or skin slightly covering my tonsils and I am wondering what that is.

I went to a doctor for oral std testing, but have not received results yet. I dont think it is an oral std but I dont know what this could be. If anyone knows, please help me! Im super worried! Thank you
