How Can Sore Throat And A While Patch On The Uvula Indicate?
I have an extremely sore that with a white patch on my uvula. I went to the doctor four days ago where they said the strep test was possibly a very faint positive. No white patches besides uvula. My glands are very swollen. No fever. Ibuprofen provides some relief from pain. They gave me two kinds of antibiotics-amoxicillan and zithromax. No change since taking it for three days.
