Hello,
I can suspect strep throat and also candida infection. I can suggest you to do a throat culture for strep and candida to determine the type of infection you are having.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
