A member asked:
I have strep throat and i started developing this last thursday and i've been getting worse what's the worst that can happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SEE YOUR MD: You need to see an md now and get diagnosed to be sure it is strep and if so it needs to be treated. The toxin the strep produces can damage kidneys and cause a variety of other problems.
