A member asked:
Child has white stripes on tonsils and sore throat when swallows low grade fever & headache 1 day no fever next day, can it be strep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The majority of these are viral. Strep usually begins with significant & persistent fever. The only way to know for sure is to have a strep test done.
