A member asked:

My throughly feels so numb that it hurts, could this be considered as strep in its first stage. i don't have fever, but a large headache

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral Vs bacterial: Viral pharyngitis can also cause similar symptoms initially. with strep , fever is expected. If symptoms are not getting better then get evaluated for strep. Remember that strep throat may also gets better in 3 days ( like viral infection) but it should be treated to prevent complications.
