White Spots on my tonsils....?Ok, bare with me.... Today is Thursday, Monday I noticed a white spot on my tonsil. By the end of the day there were two and painful. I took some IB Profen and the pain subsided. Woke up in the middle of the night, they were still there and I could hardly swallow, took more IB Profen. Same thing Tuesday. Wednesday there were two more on the other tonsil. Had to keep up with the Ib Profen. Then I got a couple of what I like to call inflamed taste buds on my tounge. It is now Thursday and they are still there! Very painful!! I have had strep several times in my life and I know that this is not that cause my body doesn't feel effected at all like it does when I get that. I have had these before but never lasted this long nor were they this painful. I have also been using listerine often thinking that would help. Anyone out there have a clue what is going on with me??? I am 24, not a hypocondriac and I am married, no silly std comments please. Thankful for any info I can get!

Could be another form of Strep. Go to your dr and have a strep test done just in case.

Have you ben to the MD? I would go. If a throat culture comes back negative, it could be mono.
Typically, you experience fever, swollen glands, troublw swallowing, inflamation in the throat and white patches on the back of the throat. These can last up to 10 days. Unfortunately mono is a virus, so it would have to run it's course, but I would make an appointment anyway.

mono causes those white spots. id go be tested for mono.

Strep !! Better get some antibiotics, before it spreads and get too infected where your tonsils will close up and then you have to be rushed to the emergency room, from not being able to breath. Not STD, so don't worry.
