Sore Throats
Bacteria, viruses, allergies and stomach acid can cause a sore throat. When a bacterial infection occurs it can be from:
- Strep throat, which usually does not occur with congestion or a cough.
The most common symptoms of strep throat are:
- A sudden, severe sore throat
- Pain when you swallow
- Fever over 101° F (38.3° C)
- Swollen tonsils and lymph nodes
- White or yellow spots on the back of a bright red throat
- We offer a rapid strep test in-office that takes around 10 minutes
