Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white throat mucus which is due to streptococcal infection which is leading to strep throat. Tonsillitis could be one of the cause. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and go for sputum test as well. You should do is to do warm saline gargles at-least 2 to 3 times in a day. Avoid fried , sharp and spicy food. You can take soothing lozenges to reduce pain and discomfort. Avoid drinking cold carbonated beverages. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do rinses with antimicrobial mouthwash as well. For reduction of pain and inflammation you should take ibuprofen or calpol. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin for at-least 5 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
