A member asked:
Is stiff tight neck a symptom of strep bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The classic symptom of a strep throat infection is a sore, inflamed throat and/or tonsils. Without that,I wouldn't attribute neck stiffness alone as a sign of a strep infection. A rapid throat culture to detect strep would settle the question.
