A member asked:
Does strep cause swelling on the throat? and it feels tight on one and sometimes both sides of neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To diagnose strep throat you need to have a test done. It can be a test done in the doctor's office or if the result is not clear, a culture. Symptoms are not sufficient to diagnose or rule out strep throat.
