White Spots in Throat

The New-Test Forum - Allergy Testing

FromTo
I have a few questions.

I believe I have a mild case of strep.

I have a big white spot in the back of my throat in front of the uvula and a small white spot on one of my tonsils. Very sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, no fever, no runny nose at least presently, some sneezing.

I have had about a dozen of these episodes in my life. It's always the same thing the strep test is either negative or inconclusive but I get prescribed antibiotics and the spots clear up in a day or two and everything is fine.

I'm 38 and have had throat and ear problems forever.

When I was younger and had a cigarette when I drank, I was almost guaranteed the have this strep like sore throat within couple of days.

So today I never smoke and hardly ever drink, but every once in a while I will bing, 6-8 beers in a night with my friends( I weigh 170 lbs) work out regularly. When I do this I'd say there is a 1:6 chance within a couple of days I'll come down with this strep like sore throat condition.

The same is true for my ears, I will get ear infections MORE often then the strep throat condition.

I have had a recent AIDS test and it was negative and in general I’m in good shape but I feel like a have a deficient immune system or maybe allergies to beer or alcohol? I do have terrible allergies to every type of pollen?

What is the best way to diagnosis this condition if a strep test in negative?

Any ideas why I have these throat and ears problems?

Just a follow up went and saw a NP. I had a strep test done came back positive. I would like to know why I seem to get these more often then I should.

Thanks,

Brooks
