What Do White Spots In The Throat Indicate?

I started off with a viral infection, both my boys have it too... I was feverish and very weak, also very very tried for days. Took about s week to start feeling better from runny nose eyes etc ... I felt better for a couple days then suddenly my throat swelled up with lots of pain(lots!!) and that same night I couldn t talk because of the pain, next morning I barely had a voice. A few days later I took my child to a doctor and she looked at me said throat looks fine and it s just viral... 2 nights ago it started hurting again , now I notice white spots at the back, what could this be ?

You should take anti inflammatory medication,gargle with salty water.
If the symptoms continue you should take prescribed antibiotics from your doctor.
