I have had a sore throat for 3 days, there are little white spots on my tonsils, but no fever. Could I still have strep throat without a fever?

Fever is almost always present with strep throat, but if it makes you feel better, go see a doc. The test to determine if you have it is simple, quick and painless and takes 5-10 min.

Sure. I had it in the 7th grade and didn't have a sore throat or a fever. But I had it. Better go get a throat culture to be sure. If you started antibiotics now you would be no longer contagious in about 48 hours.

Usually with strep I feel HORRIBLE and so miserable that by the 2nd day I have to go to the doctor. The pain is really bad. If you're not in too much pain then it may just be something else, like drainage.

white spots on the tonsils usually suggest staphlococcus infection.. the tell-tale sign of strep is when strawberry tongue appears..needs immediate attention and antibiotic before it goes systemic.
