A member asked:
I deep throated for a good five minutes. waking up this morning it's really sore & red with white spots. what could this be? is that normal?

Not normal: A sore throat is not normal. Red and white spots on the throat is not normal. Friction damage from some hours ago could explain the symptoms... or the symptoms and the friction could just be coincidental. One common cause of a sore throat is a strep throat infection.
