A member asked:

A sore throat - white at the back of the throat and small bumps at the back of the throat - is this strep throat?

Dr. James Ferguson answered

Can't be sure: Throat irritation from any source can have a similar appearance. Some of the nastiest appearing ones are viral. Strep A is now rather easy to confirm with an office based quick test (10min) .
