PSA So if you’re ever having a really sore throat make sure it’s not strep throat!!! That shit doesn’t go away with home remedies, you WILL need to see a doctor urgently and likely be prescribed antibiotics. I had no idea til my dad whose a doctor looked at it and I want yall to know what to look for.

How to identify a strep throat:

-swollen uvula

-inflamed tonsils often with white spots but sometimes not!

-sore throat that comes on quickly

-red spots in the roof of the mouth and sometimes surrounding the uvula

-grey tongue

-fever

-aching body

Please be safe as this can give awful complications if untreated. Be safe than sorry, my asthma makes my immune system weaker so I absolutely need the antibiotics. Don’t mess with your health folks.

Visual aid under the cut so you know what a strep throat can look like including my own strep throat. ⚠️ You’re gonna see inflamed throats beyond this point⚠️‼️

As you can see they don’t all look alike! But it’s so important to go to a doctor if your throat look’s anything like this.
