hi.

you might have acute exudative tonsillopharyngitis, hence, the pain, redness and yellowish spots on your throat. it is best if you consult a doctor with regards to proper examination and medications for your throat. a mouth wash in the morning and before bedtime will also be of help.

hope this helps.

good day!!
