i have no way of accurately making a definitive diagnosis based solely on your description. a medical professional would have to examine you and perhaps run a rapid strep test or a culture. or even a mono test if clinically indicated. while most sore throats are viral and self-limiting you need to remember that mono is a virus too. not all diseases have all of the symptoms such as fever etc. if you want to know. definitively. what you have you will need to see a medical professional.
i have red dots on the back of my throat which swell up and makes it sore and hard to swallow i do not haver fever. i'm 15. i do not have any other symptoms like fever fatigue or headache. there are no white patches just inflamed red spots that swell up and cause discomfort makes it hard to swallow and gives me a sore throat. i do currently have a cold. what do i have? i don't know whether it could be just a cold strep throat or mononucleosis. thanks.
