A member asked:
Is it possible for you to have strep without white bumps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Strep throat can cause infection without having white discharge in the throat. In fact, most causes of whitish discharge to the back of the throat are viral in nature. The best sign of strep is significant redness of the throat and blotches of red on the soft palate called "palatal petechiae".
