Ok, my husband and I have both been really sick for about a week. We saw a doctor today, and he didnt even test us for strep throat. He said probably just a virus that will have to go away on its own, and prescribed us Vicodin for the joint and muscle pain. Thats it. Is there any chance we have strp throat?
Symptoms:
fever as high as 104 F
cold and hot flashes
horrible body aches
sore throat, but not horrible
phlegm-y cough
lightheadedness
headaches
occasional nausea
an incidence of vommiting and diarhhea in my husbbands case
bloody noses for my husband
that spot on the sides of your neck that they sometimes check for swelling or whatever, is swollen and tender feeling
our daughter also had what seemed to be the same thing for TWO WEEKS. She still has a bit of a cough, and is really mucousy, but otherwise seems fine.
IS anyone experienced with strep throat? our symptoms seem to match what i have read online, except our throats are only mildly sore. more dry
