Visit your M.D.: You may have the need to have a strep culture . If they can attack it with the right antibiotic quick enough it may not last as long. Having a fever is your bodies defense mechanism to heat these bacteria/viruses in order to kill and remove them. It may be a viral issue and just take time to pass, however a antibiotic can help fight secondary infection by bacteria.
