See a doctor: Your symptoms are possibly associated with a viral, bacterial or fungal infection. See a physician in person for proper treatment.

Strep throat: Strep throat would be high on the list , but mono or adenovirus can also cause "white spots".. You should probably be swabbed for strep throat.
