I have yellow patches on my tonsils along with sneezing and a runny nose.my std results were negative and strep was also.what do you think i may have?

Viral URI: Typical for a garden variety viral upper respiratory infection, i.e. common cold. "Yellow patches" can suggest bacterial infection like strep, but it often happens with viruses. Given your age and mention of STD: If you also have painful sores in or near the mouth, it could be herpes. And if it lasts more than a week and also enlarged lymph nodes etc, ask doc about infectious mononucleosis (mono).
