Might a sore throat cause a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may: Certainly can. Whether a sore throat is related to strep or a viral infection - fever is possible. For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have strep throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Salt water gargles help.
