Strep throat and just dry cough,no discharge. when lying and sleeping it's better.my doctor didn't hear anything when ascultating.virus?

Yes: most likely it is a virus or allergy the cough and sore throat could be from posterior drip from sinus allergy sleep with the head elevated and take claritin or zyrtec with or without decongestant during the day as long as no allergy or BP problem and take benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night hydrate well take vitamin C and Zink

You probably: have clear lung since the auscultation did not show any abnormal breath sounds. Keep taking your antibiotic. Your dry cough could be due to cold and it will go away in 10 days. Take care.

? virus: if your strep throat was treated with antibiotic and you do not have fever it could be viral infection ,

Yes: If you mean "sore throat" not "strep throat" then this sounds viral. Strep throat means you have a confirmed presence of Strep in a throat culture or rapid test. Strep throat requires treatment in children and young adults to prevent rheumatic fever. Viral throat infections do not require antibiotics.

Strep throat: This condition is caused by Group A Beta-hemoytic Streptococcus pyogenes, a bacterium. It is possible to coexist with a viral infection, but the two are usually distinct. Your doctor not hearing anything suggests that you do not have pneumonia, but there is no guarantee that is correct. Your doctor sounds astute and thorough and would trust them.

Strep is throat: is a bacterial infection, and is usually treated with an antibiotic, but if you are referring to a sore throat, then yes, any inflammation may be causing irritation and a dry cough. This is usually viral, esp if you were examined by a doctor who said your lungs were clear. If a cough persists for more than 3 weeks, I recommend checking for allergy, GE reflux, or allergy/asthma.

Strep is bacteria: Some respiratory virus can cause secondary infection on top of strep. Usually with respiratory viruses you get more nasal congestion and cough etc. While viruses get better generally without treatment in time, make sure you get treated for strep.

Probably virus: It is good news that you can sleep well no discharge but dry cough. Also your lung are clear.This all suggests that you have viral infection ,hope you will feel better soon.Drink lot of fluids ,it will in reducing your cough

Strep: Strep throat is a bacteria, mostly group A strep that is treated with a Penicillin antibiotic if you are not allergic to it. Your other symptoms may be related to this infection. See your doctor and get treated .

Virus: Viruses are way more common than the bacteria infections. But,you said you have strep which is bacterial, so if you were coughing and was turning into pneumonia or bronchitis,the antibiotic should cover for that as is. It is possible to be dealing with more than one infection at same time,so if no improvement with cough, you might have something viral going on as well. Get evaluated if not better

Probably: you do not have strep because the doctor did not see white pus pockets or redness. Unless a culture was done it still could be strep though there are many fall time virus which cause a pharyngitis and can irritate your throat causing a cough. If you get worse or higher fever or more symptoms go back to the provider for a re exam

Cough: Were you diagnosed with strep infection If yes then you may be on Antibiotic. Occasionally strep infection can occur along with viral infection. You may try some over the counter medicine for cough?If the lung sounded ok then you may not be wheezing or have pneumonia. Likely viral infection, will get better in about 5-7 days. Please f/u if no improvement noted in 5-7 days.
