Are there stages to a strep infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: There are not specific stages to a strep infection. Common symptoms of strep throat include throat pain, fever, body aches, headache, pain with swallowing, and swollen glands. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should go to your pcp for a rapid strep test. There are also many viral infections that can cause similar symptoms, but strep throat should be ruled out by a provider.
