How man you tell the diffrence between strep and gonorrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Culture: Culture is the most reliable way but you have to have a special culture for gonorrhea so make sure your doctor is aware of your concerns. There is often something called " blue waffles" on the soft palate with GC. Hope this helps and all the best. Just get treated!
