See a dentist: You may have some lingering soreness from your strep infection or it may be something else totally unrelated. See a dentist to determine the current cause of your symptoms.

Dental Check up: The gum soreness may or may not be related to the strep throat. Either way you should get it checked out, especially if your last dental cleaning was more than six months ago.
