A member asked:
I'm having throat pain and it hurts to swallow. is it tendonitis or strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: There are no significant tendons in the soft tissues of the throat to become clinically painful.Strep throat can only be distinguished from other forms of throat infection through exam and testing.An office visit could sort this out.
