Fever, : Fever, vomiting and sore throat may be signs of strep throat. You should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor should perform a rapid strep or throat culture. Simply looking in the throat is not acceptable. Sore throats may be viral or bacterial(like strep). Only bacterial infections require antibiotics.
