A member asked:

I tested positive for strep throat today. i also have a cough. is it normal to have a cough with strep? it makes it harder to breathe. thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not specifically: While many with strep will have more drainage that might trigger cough, it is not a common feature of strep throat.If you are having pain associated with breathing it would be worth a call to your doc's office to discuss your change in symptoms. There may be additional things your doc would like to check in your case.
