Painful sore throat ?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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 :)
