    Default Strep?

    Anyone have a short list of the symptoms? A friend of mine just suggested that my days-long sore throat and exhaustion could be an indication of strep. If I still feel like crap in the morning, I'm going to my Dr. for a step test.

    Biggest sign you have strep is white spots in the back of your throat.
    other symptoms are:
    difficulty swallowing
    tender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
    red and enlarged tonsils
    headache
    lower stomach pain
    fever
    general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
    loss of appetite and nausea
    rash

    open your mouth and look at the back of throat with a mirror. if there are white spots u most likely have strep.also if ur breath smells...definitely go to a dr cause strep can turn into something more serious if not taken care of
