Lately in the past two months I have been getting sore throats. I just had a really bad one about two weeks ago and was put on Cipro and now I feel like another is coming on. My symptoms always start out with my right tonsils, there seems to be 3 little white spots the size of pin drops(just a little bigger) then it starts to get really itchy back there and then my right ear starts to itch, it is driving me crazy. I am wondering if this is strep throat or tonsillitis.

Has anyone else expereinced this or know what this is?

I would say it is strep throat in my experences with tonsilitis I only had huge tonsils and when I had white spots I useally had strep.
