Does this sound like Strep throat?

So I've had this horrible sore throat for a few days now and the only way I can get some relief is by taking a BC powder. I have tried gargling warm salt water, honey, and other home remedies. Nothing works. I also find myself waking up with eye crust because my eyes are watering more now. One side of my nostrils is stopped up. It switches during the day. On a scale of 1 to 10 i give the throat pain a 20. Should I go see a doctor? I also see raised bumps in the back of my throat when I look.

    could be strep, could be mono, could be another bacterial, could be viral.  The point is, no way to tell without seeing and testing.
