Is this Swine Flu,normal cold, or strep?

Thursday night my throat was feeling scratchy and I thought nothing of it. I wake up on Friday morning and my throat is swollen on each side I gargled with warm salt water and went about my day and tried not to think of it needless to say I had a hard time sleeping last night so I went into the bathroom to inspect what was going on in my body and I find that I have these white mucus'y dots on the swollen glands in my throat all day today its been sore I took my temp and it was about 97. which is typical for me when not feeling well I feel hot but the temp goes under also my under arms and inner thigh have been sore since thursday as well, is it swine flu? is it strep? is it just a cold? what can I do to make it go away and please don't say go to the doctor because that is not an option
