Is It Strep Throat?
If you have a sore throat, you may be questioning whether it’s strep. Unlike throat soreness caused by a cold virus, strep throat is caused by a bacterial infection. As such, strep throat treatment often involves the use of prescription antibiotics. Although only a trained medical professional can accurately diagnose strep throat, there are certain signs that you can watch out for, such as:
- Pain when swallowing
- Tonsil swelling and redness
- White patches on the tonsils or in the throat
- Red spots on the back of the roof of the mouth
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- A fever of at least 101 degrees Fahrenheit
- Chills
- Body aches
- Loss of appetite
