Red spots on throat seems to be due to symptoms of sore throat due to infection by streptococcus bacteria and due to inflammation of tonsils. You should take preventive measures such as do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should gargle with antiseptic mouthwash. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take combination of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin and anti- inflammatory drugs. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for blood and throat swab test. Once proper diagnosis has been made start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
