What Are The Symptoms Of Strep Throat?
Hi - I woke up this morning feeling like I am getting a cold/flu. Symptoms - headache, chills, sore throat with some white spots on tonsils. Also, swollen right tonsil and under it looks like a growth or another portion of the tonsil which may be swollen? Are these symptoms strep throat?

Thats difficult to tell . You can come to know only if you get your blood test and throat swab for culture and sensitivity test.
So please consult a doctor.
