A member asked:

Good evening. i have been having a soar throat for the past few days and breathing through the nose is a bit irritating. no fever, no headache im just worried ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe strep, etc...: Nose and throat symptoms can be from cold viruses, strep throat, allergies, etc... It can be difficult to tell what the cause is. If symptoms only last 1-2 days, it is more likely allergies or irritation. Doctors have rapid 5-minute tests for strep, so a primary care doctor can diagnose strep and start antibiotics as needed, within the first few days of strep symptoms. Can call Dr. to ask.
