Sore throat

White spots in the throat

Roger’s father points with the torch. Roger’s mother presses his tongue down with the handle of a spoon. They make Roger open his mouth and say “ahhh”. His mother’s nose is just a hand away from the back of his throat. Roger is sure that his parents enjoy looking for white spots in his throat. For him, it is a torture.

If white spots appear in your throat (pus or abscesses) or you have a high temperature, you have to visit the doctor. In this case, your ears may also be sore.
