Strep throat??

I woke up early this morning with a really sore throat, I didn't think anything of it since I've been sleeping with the windows open these past few days but I ended up looking in the mirror and I noticed 2 white bumps back there. I also feel really tired and my body feels sore. Is this strep possibly? Are there  pregnancy safe home remedies I can try to cure it on my own?

It can be strep but if you haven't had your tonsils removed it could be tonsillitis which if you gargle with warm salt water it disapates. Try to consult your doctor and if it's not strep try more natural remedies so you don't have to take antibiotics. Good luck. Hope you feel better.

You CAN cure it, if you catch it early enough and are cautious to make sure the symptoms/fever don't worsen...if they do then see a doctor. Gargle with raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar diluted with 1/2 water every 2 hours. Drink fluids constantly. Avoid any and all sugars and cold things. Suck on garlic cloves in between gargles. Also gargle with sea salt in water every couple of hours. Drink fluids high in vitamin c, like lemon in water with raw honey. Mix 1/2 raw honey with 1/2 powdered tumeric and place in mouth, allow it to melt slowly. The tuneric, garlic and apple cider vinegar are all natural antibiotics/ anti-inflammatories. Eat simple soups of vegetables in chicken broth with some real whole chicken with bones slowly simmered in it. A pinch of cayenne in your food is also antibacterial. Good luck! Go to a doctor if your fever worsens near/past their recommended max temp.
