Suspected strep throat

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I have difficulty swallowing for four days now. Upon inspection of my mouth, I saw two large white spots on only one tonsil. I had a headache just a while ago but I was thinking that it may be because I'm on my period. But could it and the white spots be a symptom of strep? I've checked for the other symptoms of strep and I think I'm clear of them
