I Don%E2%80%99t Believe This Is Strep But It May Be

Question: i don%E2%80%99t believe this is strep but it may be related to my sinuses. i usually have cobblestone in the back of my throat and redness due to GERD but now i have a few red patches. one on the right and one on the left. it hurts when i swallow saliva but not when I eat. Ive been sneezing here and there and am tired but no fever. im trying to avoid the walk in as i have a ten week old and i really dont want to subject him to all those germs. i usally wake up with a white drainage streak down my throat in the morning and i was able to cough up a little mucous. ive had an irritated tongue the past few weeks but thats mostly resolved... though the first doctor said my tongue issues were related to a viral infection as i had fluid in my ears as well as the cobblestone and drainage. the dr. I spoke to on here also said it was related to something similiar as well as acid reflux. i attached photos of my tongue just for past reference and the back of my throat with the areas im talking about circled. also, ive always had a scalped tongue for years (its my norm)

Thank you so much, I appreciate your help. So you believe this will go away on its own? Just want to make sure I understood the last part.

Thank you so much!
