Strep throat: Strep throat will require an exam and a swab for culture. Check in with your doctor or urgent care for an assessment and antibiotics if needed. All the best.

Things to ponder: The soreness will likely fade over time if you do something about it or not. However, you can prevent the possibility of Rheumatic fever, heart disease or kidney disease if you get in, find out if it is and start treatment within 7-10 days of initial symptoms.
