white spots on my throat

well, white spot to be exact. the only other time i've noticed white spots on my throat i had strep. however, now i only have a minor sore throat, and it seems to only be sore in one specific spot, not where the spot is. i don't have access to any type of reputable medical facility, but can get antibiotics. i pretty much need to make the call as to whether or not to take antibiotics. anyone ever get white spots with a minor sore throat?

just take the antibiotics in a day or so. As long as you dont make a habit of it. Its not like it can hurt you.

You have 24 hours to live. I suggest you get started on your will.

They could be minor calcium deposits on the back of your throat which are unrelated to your soreness.

Sounds like bird flu to me.

Dude, dont take antibiotics. It's most likely nothing. I'd say give it a week then get tested for bacterial strep. If its not bacterial then antibiotics will do nothing. You will save yourself cash and the world from increasing antibiotic resistence.
