It’s possible that you may have contracted strep throat, which is an infection caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. Symptoms of strep throat include a sore throat, swollen tonsils, white patches on the tonsils or back of the throat, red spots inside the cheeks, fever, and fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor to get tested for strep throat and receive proper treatment.
