could this be strep throat or something else?!


Question: Could this be strep throat or something else?
i have been having strep throat symptoms for the last few days, nausea, maybe a fever around 98-99.3 degrees, cough, and dry throat. i have allergies and i have those symptoms too. the problem is that i dont know for sure if it is. the symptoms come and go, i normally get them after i eat. i have had strep b4 but i had tonsils then. then my symptoms would get worse, but they are not this time. as of yesterday my boobs has been heavy and sore, but the the last time i had strep they were like that too. just not as heavy. i have had these symptoms for almost two weeks, being super tired and nauseaed the first week. and then the rest of symptoms coming in earlier this week.

i might have been in contact with strep, i help in a daycare and one of the kids older brother got it and she has been acting sick too. i dont know if she has it or not, we cant get a hold of her parents to ask if she is sick.

could this be strep or am i just sick or what?

It could be strep. It could be just a bad sore throat. You don't really have much of a fever, just low grade and nothing to be alarmed about. If you had this problem for the past few days, it's about time that you swing by the doc to get it taken care of.



If you have had this for 2 weeks, it probably is NOT strep. You would have been to the doctor already due to the severe pain this often causes. This sounds like a mild virus - you treat the symptoms as they occur and expect it to take a couple of weeks as your body heals itself. And, you can always go see your doctor and get a throat culture done to see if there are any strep germs present and whether any antibiotics might be needed.

Some of these sound like symptoms to early pregnancy. Several weeks of symptoms, sore boobs, fatigue, nausea, higher basal temp....when was your last period?



It sounds like strep, but before you get worried see a doctor.
