I have a big white canker sore on the top left of my throat, by my gland. Also, my dangly thing in my throat has some bumps on it. Is this just a regular throat infection or a virus? My ear on the bad throat side really hurts too. I'm going to the doc later today, but I want to know now.

It could be strep, it could be another bacterial infection or possibly a virus. Only a culture will tell. Is your throat sore, hurts to swallow even your own saliva? Are you running a temperature?

sounds like infection -- maybe NOT strep.
By all means see the doctor! Are you hotter than normal? Flushed? Maybe a fever if you are....and good luck!!

Could be strep throat, which is highly contagious.

Explain all symptoms to the doctor, he is better judge and have faith in him
