My throat is itchy and sore, does that mean I have Strep Throat?

I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you if you have Strep throat or not, but I can tell you that according to the Mayo Clinic, only a small portion of sore throats are actually Strep throat. Strep throat is a bacterial infection in the throat and the tonsils that cause a severe sore throat due to inflammation. Normal sore throats are caused by a viral infection and can be just as painful as strep throat.

If you have cold symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or a runny or stuffy nose, you probably do not have strep throat. Here are the strep throat symptoms to watch for:red and white patches in the throatThroat paindifficulty swallowingswollen tonsilstender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neckFeverHeadacheRashloss of appetite and nauseaStomachacheThe Mayo Clinic says to see your doctor when you have the following:A sore throat without cold symptoms such as runny noseA sore throat accompanied by tender, swollen lymph glands (nodes)A sore throat that lasts longer than 48 hoursA fever higher than 101 F (38 C) in older children, or any fever lasting longer than 48 hoursRashProblems breathing or difficulty swallowing anything, including salivaA lack of improvement after taking antibiotics for 24 to 48 hoursA fever — or pain or swelling in the joints, shortness of breath or arash — after a strep infection, even as long as three weeks afterinfection. These can be indicators of rheumatic fever If you think you have Strep throat then you should definitely go see a doctor because Step throat can lead to more serious problems.

According to KidsHealth. Com, the doctor will probably do a "rapid strep test in the office, using a cotton swab to take a sample of the fluids at the back of the throat. The test only takes about 5 minutes."

The treatment is usually 10 days of antibiotic medication, like penicillin, amoxicillin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin or a cephalosporin. I hope you feel better!
