You probably have: it again or could have Strept A. Seek a health care provider for testing. You don't want to go untreated and risk rheumatic disease if it is Strept A.

Throat infection : Sounds like throat infection which can be due to streptococcus bacteria . Glandular fever can also have a similar presentation. Glandular fever is caused by a virus and antibiotics don’t work for it . Would be worth having swab and blood test .
