you need to go to an urgent care center and have it looked at. If you go to work sick they will not appreciate that. Get some antibiotics and treat it.

Last time I had strep that's what my symptoms were. Call your doctor and tell them you are starting a new job tomorrow and need to get in today.

It could as easily be a viral infection. Get a culture first and antibiotics only if positive for Strep A.

It is most likely strep. Try Tylenol Sore throat, that always seems to work for me. Hope you feel better!

i wouldnt worry about it , you cant tell if you have strep without a test. make an appointment, maybe on the weekend or go to immediate care center. so you dont miss your first week.

i'm afraid you may have strep. maybe you can go to your job but in the meantime make an appointment with your doctor. you can get a shot to get well quicker.

yes, very likely this is strep and it will only get worse until you are on an antibiotic.
