sore throat and white spots

Hello, I am 10 weeks today and have a horrible sore throat. It's red and inflamed but no white spots indicating strep. I think it's from post nasal drip, I am also choking up phlegm mostly clear and light yellow. I used the netti pot twice today so far and it's helped my nose but not throat. Also tried a shot of apple cider vinegar and failed spectacularly at getting it down. I do not want to take over the counter medicine but I know you ladies will have more natural ideas.

My canker sore did not get smalller, it got much larger (larger than my thumb nail now) and changes colour every day, from green with red spots to white and brown. Behind my canker sore I have seen what I presume are my actual tonsils, but there's two growths, one large the one above small. There is a white pattern on these with brown spots in the middle of them. There is not much inflammation but there is redness. There is horrible pain on swallowing. Help please.

So, I have had a sore throat for a week now. It started with a tickling throat and then developed, so I find it very hard to swallow because it really hurts, and also have trouble talking. Yesterday I started coughing and it has gotten really bad, to the point where I am coughing until I'm gagging. However, the unusual thing is it only seriously affects me in the mornings and at night. During the day it is bearable. Please help!!

I never had a fever, I did lose my appetite so therefore I lost some weight but after anxiety meds I got it back. But seriously the sore throat with on and off white spots for 3 months has got to be something.... does this sound like an ars symptom?

Ok ot just was like i was having ars symptoms fever . my throat hurts i have three white spots in my throat and this rash like blisters the burst and scab In ny face back chest scalp arms .does a ars rash itch ??

It is still the same 3 days later. The itching has continued on and off, and today I noticed white spots on the back of the roof of my mouth on both sides. These can easily be scraped off, but the skin under them seems a bit sensitive. I also have some very mild tingling where the spots are. I have no fever, just mild allergy symptoms and the white spots. I’m getting concerned as to what this could be.

It went away for about 5 days but when I woke up this morning my throat was sore and hurt to swallow. Now I have been noticing my ear aches on and off and I have white spots on the back of my throat as well as spots on my tongue. I read somewhere that it could possibly be strep but no symptoms for strep throat list ear aches. I 100% believe that its not an STD or STI since I have given him oral multiple times before and this has never happened.

I also stopped smoking weed 4 weeks ago and thought my throat hurt cause of that but it’s been 11 days now and I checked my throat and saw two white spots on my left tonsil. I’m worried it might be std related like hpv cause after receiving unprotected oral from her we smoked a joint together. Could this be due to an std?

My first symptom I realized my throat was very sore and I had dry cough. I had white spots and my throat was huge on both side and I had red spots at the back of my throats indicating a sore throat. Other than this , when finding out I had herpes I had no symptoms. Before I had unprotected sex , keep in mind this was during spring and I had really bad allergies even before I had unprotected sex and where I am from there are tons of trees everywhere.

if the sore throat continues, go to a clinic to have your throat looked at and a throat culture. Are you having and fevers or chills?

There are some white spots on tonsils but can be wiped off with a Q-tip. Other than the sore throat, I have no symptoms. I have a few questions. 1) First, what are the odds of catching a cold sore when she did not have one present at the time? I know there can be asymptomatic shedding but still what is the likelihood? 2) Can a sore throat be the only symptom? 3) If this throat infection were indeed herpes, would I be able to wipe the spots away with a Q-tip? Please help. Very worried.

I noticed the white spots when i felt my tonsils swelling but it wasnt bad and i was thinking maybe its a bad sore throat but when the pain came the white spots spread. But as i was on amoxi i broke out in a rash towards the end of the prescription. The dr. Didnt swab my my throat just looked and said strep. So my question is was it mono or strep because the amoxi did take the swelling down and remove the white spots and i know antibiotics don't cure viruses.

I started to panic when I finally looked in the mirror and saw white spots all over both tonsils. I went to the doctor and they told me I didn't have strep. They didn't know what it was but was sure it wasn't strep. So they have now prescribed me antibiotics. I did some research and thought it might be tonsilitis or tonsil stones. But the sympoms don't quite fit. Both tonsils are swollen and have white spots, not patches. And I can't pick them off like tonsil stones.

but thats the only symptoms i have white slimy spots at the back of my throat and cheeks, sore and bleeding gums (that went away) but still have the white spots at the back of my throat. I also have this red small pinkish pimple on my arm for two weeks now it wont go away so im very very very worried. My skin have been itching but i always had very dry itchy skin. My doctor also looked at the pimple and said it was nothing. But i am very worried now.

And then I found that now there are areas of white spots in my throat. I think these white spots were not there when I visited my doctor because it wasn't sore at the time and he would have obviously noticed them had they been there. So should I be worried now about oral gonorrhea and revisit the doctor before the test results are out? Or does it sound like other kinds of infection? Any input will be appreciated.

But when it lasted into day 2 I checked it out with a light and saw little white spots on my throat. I have gotten strep and tonsillitis many times and it did not look like that. Since it's a holiday weekend, not much I could do on the doctor front so I figured I would see how it panned out. This morning I woke up and there are little red spots up near the top of my throat, my right tonsil is swollen and has little spots on it which are red with a tiny dot of white inside them.

The symptoms started with a scratchy throat, lymph node swelling (neck), and red bumps on the back of my throat and the rear of the roof of my mouth (some of the bumps later developing small white spots). The white spots look similar to pimples, but more of a white film than a bubble, and they dont seem to be raised. My Tonsils are red, but look to be free of white buildup (which rules out strep i assume?

It has a few white flecks on the spot itself, but no white spots anywhere else on the tongue or throat or anything. Other than this, I feel fine. But the painful swallowing is killing me. Any ideas on how long this will take to go away?

Now a little over a week later it’s still irritated, only deep inside my vagina. I also woke up today to a sore throat, one of my tonsils with white spots on it and the glands under my jaw extremely sore to the touch. I plan on making a drs appointment tomorrow, as it’s Sunday today and they’re closed, but I was just wondering if this all sounds like it could be an STD?

Following all this, the back of my throat and tonsils have continuously been red and inflamed. I have a sore throat that comes and goes, one lymph node in my neck that's been swollen for over 3 months, and now a white discharge from the back of my throat. This discharge smells bad, and after mixing with my saliva for the entire day, coats my tongue whitish/yellow.

The Next day she complained of sore throat and I too developed a sore throat after two days (pain while swallowing). I took antibiotics (amoxillin) and felt better after a day, but I did not complete the dose. A week later I notice my tonsils were swollen and had some white patches/spots. Consulted my doctor and he prescribed a stronger anti biotic (ampicillin) for which I took the complete dose. Saw no change (still white spots on swollen tonsils,NO PAIN).
