Not feeling well, is it strep?

[kar4889]

Hey! I have a terriable cold! I am sneezing, and my nose is soo clogged! My throat hurts as well. I have a little pus pocket in the back of my mouth kinda between my tounge and tonsils. My tonsils look good and my throat is just a little red. Could that one pus pocket be strep throat or could it just be a virus? I feel ok, dont really have a fever maybe just a slight one. Do u think I can wait a bit longer to go to the doctor? Thanks!

possible, spots on your tonsils usually mean strp, see a doc you may need antibiotics to clear it up.

i have had strep before and believe me if you have strep you'd be barely able to talk because it is super super painful but i was sick this last week and my throat hurt, and i made a doctors appointment to get it checked just in case it was more than a cold but throughtout the day my throat felt better i was thinking of canceling the appointment but i went and it turned out i had tonseitus and bronchitus, so you should go get it checked just in case its more than a cold
