It could be. And no I'm not sure. I'm not a doctor, nor have I seen your throat. I know that I've gotten white spots in my throat with strep.
I am sure that you need to see a doctor.
are you sure because ive had strep numerous time through my life and i dont ever remember having white spots on my tonsils....idk maybe its because i smoke???
Sounds like strep. You need a throat culture.
