question: Hello! I have a problem I ve never really seen before. Last Friday I developed a sore throat and within the next day, I had flu like symptoms, the shakes and a hot temperature. I thought it was just a common flu but now my gums have swollen, become incredibly sore and there seems to be random white dots on my gums, throat and the top of my tongue. I went to a doctor yesterday and he seemed a bit confused by the symptoms. Please reply as soon as possible. The pain in my throat and gums is harsh and also if I push on my glands they hurt. Thank you. Ben
