A member asked:

Can you have strep throat if your tonsils are not red and/or swollen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although tonsils are often involved, they need not be and the infection is only obvious on the posterior pharyngeal surface or producing enlarged lymph nodes in the anterior superior chain of lymphatics in the neck.
