Can strep throat affect any part of the body or just the throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Strep throat is simply the effect this germ has on the tonsils/adenoids/mouth and throat. The same germ can cause a weepy dermatitis, peri-anal infection,and more. All these can lead to significant problems if left untreated.
