Puss Pockets in throat.....? On thursday my throat began to hurt and I thought I was getting a common cold or a reaction to a flu shot I just had. On Sunday I was really tired and my body was sore. My sister in law (a nurse) looked in the back and saw white puss pockets and told me I had strep throat. I went to the doctor today and I tested neg. for strep throat and mono. He said people with sinus infections get this but I have never had a sinus infection and then he didnt know what I had. He just gave me anti-bodies but it seemed weird that he couldnt pin-point anything. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? My throat is soo sore and I can barely eat, I feel really tired and my whole body hurts. (no sniffles). Thank You
