Doc tested me neg for strep tuesday. looks like strep, & pimple-like in back of throat. lost my voice. today, woke up w/red eye. why? what is it?

Probably viral: This sounds like adenovirus. Adenovirus will give you a sore throat and also cause conjunctivitis. Drink lots of fluids, should get better soon. Also laryngitis (losing voice) goes along with viral illness.
