Can thrush leave white spots on back of your throat like strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: mainly the white spots are on the inside of the cheeks, but can be on the throat too, strep throat is different in that the spots are round and smaller, thrush is rather flakes, besides the soreness with strep throat
