My throat has been hurting a lot for the last 3-4 days, and I have been taking antibiotics for strep throat for 48 hours, but my symptoms have stayed the same or gotten worse. The pain is constant, very sharp, and mainly painful when swallowing or eating. I also have a little bit of congestion, ear pressure, and possibly a small fever. There are a lot of white areas on my tonsils, and they are growing by the day. What should I do?

Can you please tell me what exactly vasovagal syncope is and if it's life-threatening or associated with strokes? Also, my husband has had four episodes in 52 years. Is that a lot? Is this a heart problem, a neurological problem, or psychological? How can one tell the difference between vasovagal syncope and cardiac syncope? Is there any way to prevent these episodes, and is there any medicine he can take? Additionally, he came home tired with muscle aches and a slight fever after having diarrhea. Does this sound like food poisoning, dehydration, or a stomach bug?
