Hi and thanks for the query, A detailed clinical assessment is unavoidable in this case. what you describe is compatible with a bacterial infection. The characteristic presentation of the throat is seen in streptococcal pharyngitis. A physical examination by your doctor is very necessary. Causes of throat infections not accompanied by fever could involve syphillis in case there is a past history of oral sex and mycoplasma. A throat swab, culture and antibiotic sensitivity test might be useful. I suggest you consult your family physician for proper evaluation and management. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.
