So my throat was very very irritated last night, and I had looked at it with a flash light and had seen a few white spots on the back of my throat, and it was quite swollen. Now I am really big into essential oils, so I used a lot of those to treat it and it felt much better. Right now it is still swollen but really doesn't hurt much. The white spots are still there a little, but I have no fever, no headache, nothing else other than a slightly irritated throat that looks way worse than it feels. I like the stay as far away from the strep test as possible... but do you think I need it?
