Tongue Thrush

I've been feeling sick lately and not sure what I have...?

For the first few days I had a headache, sore throat and congested nose. Then my tongue started furry and white (but not anything bright or splotchy like thrush) and I had these odd bald patches. My sore throat got worse, and when I looked at my throat in a mirror I could see a big yellow sore in the back. I still have headaches and experienced minor aches. I don't think I have strep, because there are no red dots on the back of my throat. If so, what do I have?

1. you should go see a doctor, i had some white patches in the back of my throat it turned out to be strep. i would go see a doctor because untreated strep is very dangerous.
2. I would go to the doctor... try using this symptom checker. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/symptom-checker/DS00671 Also, in some cases of strep you don't always have to have the red bumps. If you feel really tired you could have mono.. I think the best thing is to just go to the doctor. Feel better!
3. I hate doctors too but with all these symptoms i would surely go to one
