THIS IS STREP THROAT INFECTION. YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DOCTOR WHO WILL DO A STREP CULTURE AND MAKE SURE AND GIVE U SOME ANTIBIOTIC LIKE AMOXICILLIN WHICH SHOULD MAKE U FEEL BETTER SOON. AND YES LIKE OTHER PPL SAID THIS IS CONTAGIOUS AND CAN BE SPREAD TO OTHER PEOPLE SO STAY AWAY FROM KISSING AND TOUCHING OTHER PPL AS U MAY SPREAD IT SPECIALLY NEAR KIDS. BE CAREFUL AND FEEL BETTER.

Strep infection! SEE A DOCTOR ASAP!!! my son had a strep infection that we didn't know about (he was 17 months so he couldn't tell us his throat was bothering) so i didn't get treated, so one day i notice that he has these light red bumps on him head to toe so im thinking great he is getting the chicken pocks and its Saturday! the pediatricians office is closed, then that night they seemed to get better then on Sunday they came back full force and every time he got hot they would get worse so we took him to the ER the strep had turned into scarlatina which the doctor called Scarlet Fever. He had to get a shot of penicillin in the butt and take fever relievers 48 hrs later he was not contagious but the spots took about a week to go away, you really need to go to the doctor. it is highly contagious it is spread through bodily fluids, don't kiss anyone or share a drink with others, or sneeze, or cough with out covering ur mouth till you get better

You definitely need to see your doctor for medicine. BUT, just because there are white spots on your tonsils does not necessarily mean you automatically have strep. When I get bad sinus infections I have all the same symptoms that Strep has, including the white spots. Just go get checked.

You definently have strep. I get it at least once a year. Definently dont kiss anyone....anyone you kiss may get the infection worse than what you had. I do suggest going to your doctor. You need to get on antibiotics straight away and you shouldn't be going to school with a fever. You could pass out and get seriously hurt if you fall the wrong way...it happened to me several times. I do hope you feel better in the next few days.

As above, it sounds like strep throat. Phone your doctor ASAP, and schedule an appointment right away. Try to keep away from people; you're highly contagious. Get lots of rest, take a cool bath, and keep checking on your temperature.
Good luck!

Gargle salt water and (im no longer joking). Stick your tongue out and say "ahhhh". once you are attempting this attempt to make your throat vibrate. this is a trick my mom in regulation taught me. once you are attempting this it facilitates bload circulate to the throat and for some reason makes the soreness pass away temp. IB Proufen works fairly properly for sore throats because of the fact this is an anti-inflamatory so; it reduces soreness and swelling. one undertaking you should do in case you have scientific coverage is....make a rapid pit-end into your community pressing Care. likely this is a sinus an infection. they might prescribe Z-p.c.. to you and it kicks in after approximately 24 hours normally. you could experience better promptly. experience better and have a sturdy holiday.

Agreed! STREP THROAT! Stay away from ppl as you are contagious if you have a fever. Only way to kick it is to get some meds.

You have a strep infection. See your doctor...they will do a throat culture (swab) to confirm, and treat with antibiotics. Hope you will feel better very soon!
