On 12/27, I noticed symptoms similar to strep throat- sore throat, feeling tired, enlarged/red tonsils, decreased appetite, but no other symptoms. On 12/28 I examined my throat
and saw multiple white spots
and streaks on both tonsils. The throat pain was not agonizing, and rather irritating. If strep were an 8-9/10, this was a 4-5/10. I went to an urgent care on 12/23, but didn't disclose the encounter. They did a strep swab, which was negative.
