Guide To Strep Throat Symptoms

Red And Swollen Tonsils

When an individual feels the onset of a sore throat, they should use a light and check the appearance of their throat. No visible differences to how a normal, healthy throat looks means the patient could be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection or allergies. If the individual has strep throat, they will most likely notice red and swollen tonsils that may also show white spots or streaks.

These little red spots are known as petechiae and can affect the hard or the soft part of the palate.
