Painful sore throat ?

I have had a sore throat for about three days and my boyfriend noticed I had a few yellow spots In my mouth (at the back) this morning I can't get to the doctors until Wednesday. So I was wondering If anyone knows what it is and if there is any way to make it less uncomfortable because it is really painful. I have a link to a picture I took of it In case you want to see although be warned it does look pretty nasty.

    It could be allergies, but more likely it's strep or tonsilitius. You really need some antibiotics. Do you have a quick clinic anywhere around? Or do you know a local hospital where you could check and see if there is a huge line at the er? (i know that's annoying to have to sit there, but it will help). A doctor can give you not only antibiotics but pain meds, too. Something you can do to soothe your throat for now: tea with honey. You may not like hot tea, but trust me, it helps. Talk as little as possible and gargle with warm salt water (again, gross, but it helps). Also, sometimes sucking on lemons will help. Hope you feel better!

  • ummm i know exactly what that is it is tonsillitis

    i unfortunatly have had this non stop my entire life and i am now going through a tonsillectomy at christmas to get my tonsils out.

    some peniciilin from the doctor will kill the virus but in the meantime eat crisps drink plenty and take some paracetamol.

    hope it helps :)

    If it was tonsillitis, the spots are generally just on the tonsils, but yours are on the roof of your mouth also.

    I would go to the GP sooner rather than later in case they become infected even more.

    Good luck.

    Sounds like Strep throat. You will definitely need to see a doctor soon.
