Health Question

[eredien]

Well, now I know why I was sick on Monday.

I think I am going to call the doctor and see if she can see me today, since I have no idea whether I have strep throat or thrush (please, not again!), but either way, these white patches probably are not supposed to be in my throat.

If anybody has an opinion on whether these might be thrush or strep, please let me know. Thanks!

(for the purposes of not unduly worrying eredien:)

If you are looking at the same thing I'm looking at (i.e. the white patches), I think that what you are calling polyps are actually tonsils.

Yeah, the white patches. It's hard to tell from the crappy photos (I shot it with my video camera upside-down while looking into a mirror and holding a flashlight), but I can tell they're not actually dangling or bulging or anything; it's not like a growth. It's more like a patch of something that's on the skin, like mold on bread or something.
