A member asked:

I want to know if i may have strep and if i should be treated. i've had over 4 days a sore throat, painful swallowing, ear pain, headache, abdominal pain/nausea, & 2 white spots in mouth. no fever, cough. symptoms improving or being consistent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strep is one of several agents that cause such symptoms and when untreated may gradually resolve. Ther is some risk cited as 1/200 untreated cases as resulting in heart/kidney or brain side effects triggered by an immune response weeks later. Diagnosis can be made on a simple in office quick test or culture.
