I have had a sore throat for about 3 days now and it hurts really bad. I have no other symptoms just the sore throat. Today I was curious and used my flashlight to check my throat and found yellow patches all over my swollen tonsils!! Google informed me it could be tonsillitis or it could be strep throat however I dont think so because I dont have any of those other symptoms. Then I remembered I had sex with a guy the night before I woke up with my sore throat and after he put his penis in my vagina I sucked his penis and that may have caused me to get a yeast infection in my throat (or it's chlamydia?!) I don't know, there are so many things it could be and I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and pray that they see me . But I wanted your guys' opinions if you think it may be yeast?! I sort of think so because of the stuff on the back of my tongue, also after I smelled my finger it smelled really foul like it could be yeast. Thanks so much in advance and sorry I couldn't get better pics!!! imageimage

    It could be a Yeast Infection , Oral thrush , Fungal Infection , Strep throat , Tonsillitis, Mono or it could be pregnancy or a STI . I had the same issue mines went away within a week.

      Did you also have the weird yellow stuff on your throat and tonsils like mine? Thats what weirds me out the most. The doctor said I tested negative for both strep and mono and he says its not thrush. They're doing more testing tomorrow! For now I took ibuprofen and it really helped the pain go away almost completely!!! But the yellow stuff is still there and uncomfortable for me
