A member asked:

My 12 year old son had a chest and throat infection with a fever for 2 days. he is still complaining about headaches now. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: These are common features of both viral & strep. The more systems involved the more likely it is viral but I would do a strep test on any 12 yo with these features. Complications can occur with untreated strep but you have a week or so before that would be a possibility.
