Strep throat: Younger children usually present with fever, sore throat, loss of appetite, lethargy and irritability. Older ones may not have fever but most complain of sore throat, fatigue and possibly stomachache, nausea and vomiting. Infants manifest refusal to feed, irritability, lethargy and fever (often).

Rare if ever: A one month old is rarely if ever infected with a strep throat. The worrisome complications if they were;rheumatic fever,heart or kidney problems are unheard of at that age. The general rules for infant infections would apply.Feeding refusal, elevated temperature >100.4, excessive sleep.
