I think i have strep throat what should i do ? my father and sister have it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek verification: Your doc can do a simple office test to confirm or exclude strep.If positive you could start treatment.Fully half or more of soar throats are viral and antibiotics are worthless.Treatment without verification is one reason we have antibiotic resistant germs today.
