Get an eval: As soon as possible. If you have it and it goes untreated you could get rheumatic fever a few months after the strep has gone away.

Sore throat: or painful swallowing have several causes only one of which is Strep Throat requiring antibiotics. Many throat infections are self limiting and resolve with just some rest and home care solutions like salt water gargles. If your symptoms persist or worsen you should see your family doctor for an exam.
