Why did i randomly get strep throat if no one i know had it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
U R Compromised: Strep is in your mouth all of the time. It is an opportunistic bacteria and you may have been compromised. Gargle with listerine without alcohol several times per day. Use a saline nose spray. If not better in a few days see your doctor.
