A member asked:

Tested positive for strep. sore throat for 5 days, nausea, fever, fatigue, dizzy spells and a cough. is this normal ? why a cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testing positive for strep can occur at the same time you are carrying a new virus/URI issue. Antibiotics may help with the strep but wouldn't alter the progression of a URI. Having both can give overlapping and amplified symptoms.
