Mystery Sickness? What's your diagnoses?
This was the worst it had looked, but I had severe pain in my salivary glands, and they were extremely swollen. Throat also was in lots of pain and tonsils were swollen. Became more sensitive to heat and seasonings like pepper salt, and spices. I had it for about a week, and rinsing my most out with Milk of Magnesia and benadryl helped with the pain and inflammation. Hasn't returned since.
it doesn't seem to be oral althea, as those are more ulcer like, while the white part was not painful, it was the salivary glands that hurt
The reason it is white is because your white blood cells is attacking an unknown thing in your system so it could have been a bacterial infection or a virus, but I highly doubt a virus. Unless it was the influenza? Though I could be wrong haha.
my mom did have the flu beforehand, but i didn't have any flu like symptoms other than the sore throat
It could possibly be, I didn’t go to a doctors for it, as it eventually resolved on its own
