I have white, almost green spots on my tonsils! Who do I see for this? My family doctor or covid test?
22-year-old woman
It's been a little over two weeks, my throat hurts! I'm at home alone 3/4 of the time and I don't see anyone so I don't think I've been in contact with a potential covid carrier! My tonsils are red with whitish spots, I have a little difficulty swallowing! And I feel swollen when I touch my throat and I see blood spots in my throat!

Note that I did not have a fever or any symptoms related to the covid apart from my throat

Hello Ma'am,
In my opinion, you need to calculate your modified Center score more, considering the symptoms you describe.
To do this, simply use the chart found on page 2 here: https://www.inesss.qc.ca/fileadmin/doc/CDM/UsageOptimal/Guides-serieI/Guide-PharyngiteAmygdalite.pdf
If your score is 3 or higher, you need to see a doctor!
Happy day,
Alexander
