What Causes White Spot On The Throat With Body Pain?
Hello- I have had numerous episodes of strep throat before since I was a child. Recently I had some puss on the left side of my throat- I did not worry much since I ha A&P finals and maybe it is onset by stress. That was a week ago and even though body aches was present- fever was not. Yesterday I noticed the right side of my throat had a huge white spot- I had the chills but again no low temp (98.4). Body aches and headache and neck pain were present. When I woke up this morning to check my throat- it had a black I can t say a spot but like a line with a whole somewhat on the same tonsil. I still never ran a temp- is there something with how my body is reacting to this known bacteria? I have been taking - vitamin C &E - Emergen-C drink - calcium with magnesium and zinc - turmeric capsule - B complex capsules - Vitamin D 5000 But I have not taken any meds- just vitamins . Could this explain the no fever? I am somewhat hoping to spike a temp to know that homeostasis is working- but not sure if the feedback loop is working at all?
Understanding your concern. As per your query white spot on throat and body pain seems to be due to infection amd inflammation of tonsils. It could lead to formation of pus pockets there. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures and along with that you should take antiallergic medication such as Levocetrizine and pproper course of antibiotic such ascAmoxicillin for 5 days to supress infection. Avoid intake of cold beverages and spicy, sharp and oily food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for throat swab test as well and start treatment after proper diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
