I have had a very sore throat for 9 days. Started with my right tonsil, then across the back, then the back and left tonsil, now both tonsils and the back. Tonsils don t appear to be swollen. Red bumps have appeared at back of roof of mouth. No fever, but my temperature has been sub-normal, 96 to 97 F throughout. I am 60 years old and have had Strep a few times before in my life. I also have chronic post nasal drip and allergies so I thought this might be due to allergy. Getting tired of the pain when swallowing and during sleep.
