Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever

I have been treated with strep this week with a poc test done. My throat became sore Saturday. I was given a shot at work in a hospital on Tuesday. I have not had a fever. I do have body aches and trouble swallowing. Tonight when I looked in my throat I noticed one tiny white head on my uvula. Should I be concerned?
