Strep Throat

What are the symptoms of strep throat? I have never had it so i don't know but my throat hurts but only o n one side, and it looks swollen when i look in my mouth, my ear also hurts when i swallow. I am not stuffy, and i have a temperature of 99.0. Does this sound like strep or am i just paranoid and its a regular sore throat? TIA

Re: Strep Throat

It could be a sinusites- a bad sinus infection. I have one now and so does my bil girlfriend.
Sore throat - runny nose- low grade fever - ears stuffy- can't smell or taste?

My DR gave me 5 day antibiotics yesterday and they are working well


Double check with the DR but so many people are getting this now

I had strep twice a few years ago, back to back, and it was a horrible sore throat and fever. I would go get the strep test just in case but lots of colds/sinus infections have your symptoms.

I had it two weeks ago. I thought it was the flu b/c I had body aches and was exhausted with a 102 fever. The day prior to that, I had a mild sore throat. The day after that, it felt like I was swallowing daggers!!! It was so painful and I couldn't get out of bed. They;ll do a culture test and maybe even a blood test. Antibiotics will heal it.Chat Icon

Whenever I get this... they give me Amoxil or Amoxicillin and it goes away rather quickly.

Just make sure you aren't allergic to penicillin if you take this drug.

Re: Strep Throat

When you have strep, it really really hurts to swallow and may even just hurt in general. Some people also run a fever. Hope you feel better.

Re: Strep Throat

I thought I just had strep, but turns out it was the whole sinus thing too!! My doctor put me on the Z-pack anitbiotics and it's now gone!

I think when you have strep, you can see white spots in your throat.

Feel better!Chat Icon

Strep was going around our office and the people were coming to work - they were surprised that they had it since they did not have a bad sore throat only a slight one on one side - so were suprised when the test came back positive. Go for a test it never hurts at least you will know one way or the other
