Pharyngitis: It sounds like you have an infection of the pharynx. You should be tested for strep throat, which requires antibiotics for treatment. A good physical examination from a licensed professional is also necessary to rule out any more potentially serious problems such as paratonsillar abscess. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Pharyngitis: You have pharyngitis. White spots indicate puss. This seems typical of strep. Get a culture or rapid strep test right away and you merit penicillin or erythromycin
