Are these white spots on my throat concerning? I went to doc last week and he diagnosed as pharyngitis and gave me a z-pack. I got prescription filled the next day and that night I had chills, body aches mainly in knees and feet and fever of 99.1. Since then, no more aching really. I finished my z-pack saturday (2 days ago) and my sore throat is basically gone but my throat looks worse. I over all don't feel well, ears slightly sore, temp of 98.2. I'm very busy with school and work so I haven't really been concerned with feeling tired and not 100%. But I'm concerned it could possibly be std related with my most recent partner whom I was intimate with 3 weeks ago when throat first started hurting. I am used to sinus and allergies so I wasn't worried but the white spots scare me.
