A member asked:

When will i show the symptoms of strep throat if i got exposed today?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1-3 days: The incubation period from when you get exposed to when you become sick is usually 1-3 days for strep throat infections. Strep often starts suddenly with headache, fever, sore throat and nausea.
