I just got strep throat....again..... and I was just curious, why is it so painful if it's just some little microscopic bacteria?? How can something so small physically affect my entire throat? I know pain is built into us to let us know when something is wrong, injury, infection, etc. but is the pain from strep bacteria from my body telling me it's infected or is the bacteria itself causing pain by attacking/excretion/poison/etc??? same thing with any type of infection, it's always more painful when infected..... why?
