my left lymph node gland is also swollen…the white thing is more like a streaky line on the left side of my throat (the open/closing part…tonsils?) . i just got over the flu…but this throat thing overlapped it and my college doc thinks i might have strep (the school test tested neg. for certain types— im waiting for the results to come back from the other lab though to see if i have a diff. kind of strep). however when she saw me there wasnt the weird white stuff on my left tonsil…it’s not a dot more like a streaky line thing…

additional info to know — the last time I did anything sexual was about 3 or 4 weeks ago…I gave head…to a not so trustworthy guy… i know it was a bad decision so no judgement ok? thanks
p.s. It as been sever and it has been difficult to swallow for an entire week…yes, a whole 7 days
