Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My throat is sore and when I shined a light back there to look at it in the mirror, I saw that on the back wall of my throat, there was a yellow bump. I just looked it again (only a few hours later) and there are more yellowish looking bumps and the veins in the back of my throat are really dark red. I think my tonsils are swollen but I m not sure. Is this strep?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Bacterial throat infection also known as Strep throat and the symptoms of throat pain that is Pharyngitis and white bumps on the throat that can be pus pockets along with inflamed tonsils that is Tonsillitis seems to be due to it..
For confirmation consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Thorat swab culture can help in diagnosis..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help.. You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
