What Causes Red Blisters On Uvula And White Blister In Throat?

I have a sore throat and major headache. My nose is also a little stuffy. I had 3 little red blisters on my uvula that ive had forever. However on the back of my throat I have a whitish blister. I looked up strep throat pics but those were wayy to big and very white. It does hurt when I swallow, and my family is sick as well. Do you think I have strep and also do you think I am contagious? Today is the first day ive noticed symptoms.

Not a strep throat but maybe a viral infection, so it could be contagious; avoid close contact with others.
It could also be an aphthous ulcer, in which case it should go away after a few days. Gargle with Disprin and take warm, soft foods.
