Your son has a red spot on one of his tonsils and complaining of a sore throat and he has sat around all day you think he is getting a cold or does it sound like strep throat?

It depends. If he has a congested nose or runny nose, there's a more likely chance its drainage. But if he has been feeling very tired, that's a sign of strep. Check his tonsels with a flashlight, if they are really red and if you see white patches or streaks of pus, it is most likely strep. You should see your doctor. I hope he gets better! I hate strep!
