You may be suffering from strep throat, which is an infection caused by the streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat can cause a sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, red spots on your tonsils, and difficulty swallowing or breathing. To treat strep throat, you should take antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, drink plenty of fluids to help flush out your system, gargle with warm salt water, and rest as much as possible. If symptoms persist, contact your doctor for further treatment options.
