If i have a sore throat with a little bit of white stuff on my tonsils.?

.. but my sore throat is feeling better after 2 days.. does this mean strep throat is out of the question?

i can eat fine, i don't have a high fever.

Answers:
No, it doesn't. Is the white stuff something that looks like it could be wiped off, like sinus drainage? If so it could be you just had a touch of a sinus/allergy crud. If it looks almost like little pieces of cotton then it could be strep. You don't have to have a super-sore throat to have strep either, I found that out the hard way. I guess the big question is whether or not you've been running a fever and feally sick. If so, get to the doctor, it's strep season again right now. The body doesn't usually just get rid of strep on it's own and it can lead to rheumatic fever. See link below for images of strep throat.


You have tonsillitis. If it's resolving itself (no fever, or other symptoms like ear ache), you don't need to do anything. Gargling with hydrogen peroxide should help.
You should see about getting your tonsils removed. If you don't do it right away, you will surely have more problems later on. This is a situation that has happened to me.
What answer are you looking for? You have asked this previously and gotten the same answers. You could still have strep. Just because you don't have a fever and it's not really painful doesn't mean it isn't there. Go to the doctor and get a throat culture to be sure. If it's tonsillitis, the doctor needs to know anyway-you may still need anti-biotics.
o_O Jesus, that sounds like strep. don't kiss anyone and go to your doc!
More than likely you have strep throat. It is very contageous and if you have kids, you should avoid them as much as possible. Now, I am not a man that likes to take medicine, however, I have kids and i would hate to spread it to them. With a penecillin shot, it isn't contageous after 24 hours.

If you can't get into the doctor and your throat is still sore, try (as nasty as it sounds) to take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. That should numb the pain enough until you get to the doc.
