Why Is My Throat Sore With White Spots On The Left Side?

Hi, for the last couple of days my throat has been very sore with white spots on the left side. I also lost my voice yesterday which as not yet returned. The spots are still evident however my throat is much less painful. Tonight I noticed the roof of my mouth is very yellow/orange. Should I see my GP for anti-biotics or will this clear by itself?

hello

please!! dont delay and meet your doctor for antibiotics , you may be having a strep infection and it would be better if you take the antibiotics. for the time being you can start gargling with warm salt water 3-4 times a day.
thanks
