Could have strep throat

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

Yesterday night I had noticed white spots in the back of my throat. I was convinced it was strep throat because my throat is very scratchy that day so I had took it upon myself to take Ibuprofen to avoid the fever. I still don't know if I have strep throat or not.
