Could be: Strep throat and viral infections look and act similarly. Get a throat culture to know.

Possibly: Sounds like you are getting sick - go see your internist. They would need to do a culture to verify it is strep throat. Gargle with warm salt water to help with the sore throat. Umcka cold/flu helps a lot too (it all natural).
