Remote possibility: Usually strep throats are unaccompanied by the usual 'cold' symptoms such as coughing.

YES: Strep throat is caused by bacteria called streptococcus. Common age between 5 and 15, exception can happen. Cold is caused by different viruses, both can cause infection simultaneously. Strep. Pharyngitis / tonsillitis needs to be treated with antibiotic, commonly of penicillin group, if not allergic to. Cold is self limiting, just symptomatic treatment. Talk to your doc if u think of having strep.
