Strep: You can get strep throat without a fever. A young child will usually be fairly sick with strep throat. Usual signs are high fever, sore throat, swollen glands, vomiting, headache or tummy ache. An older child or adult may have similar symptoms, or just a sore throat.

Yes: It is unusual, but I have seen patients complain of a sore throat without a fever and their strep test was positive! if you suspect strep or were exposed to someone with strep and now have symptoms, i would see a physician and have them do a quick strep test to confirm or clear you of strep.

Yes : You don't always have to have a fever with strep throat . If it is a more advanced infection prior to treatment, them fever is more likely.
