Can Sore Throat And Bumps On My Tongue Be Signs Of Strep Throat?

Hi I have had a sore throat and body aches for about a week. I have bumps on my tongue, but they are not white. I don't have any insurance so I wasn't planning on going to the doctor. Does this sound like strep. I have no fever and am able to function through the day with the help of Tylonal :)

hello if you are not having fever, then it is unlikely that you are having a strep infection as you dont have fever. please meet your ENT doctor for examination and advice. meanwhile you can start gargling with warm salt water, thanks
