Get it checked: Hi Austin, these could be ulcers or abscess. These aren't usually related to strep throat. If they aren't getting better with your strep throat antibiotics, I suggest that you go back to your doctor to get it checked as you may need to get it lanced and/or swabbed. You may also need a broader spectrum antibiotics.

Probably unrelated: Probably unrelated but coincidental infections. Call yours Physician and report symptoms. Call you Dentist and schedule examination.
