Covid mocking strep throat symptoms???

Ly

So I've been having a super sore throat with yellow spots on my tonsils. I figured it was strep and went to the doctor and got tested. They said my results were negative and that it could be covid. We got tested yesterday so hopefully we'll find out tomorrow but has anyone ever gotten yellow bumps on their tonsils from covid??? They said I can also test for mono if my covid results are negative. I'm just super confused.
