With strep throat, you have a bad sore throat that often feels kinda raw in the back. It is hard, almost impossible to swallow (atleast when I get it) and there can be white spots on your tonsils (but not always). Also, I usually get a general sense of just feeling sick.

you mean sore throat from a streptococcal infection? Oh my! I'm having it right now!
Last night I felt dizzy, like I couldn't turn my head left or right without having this feeling like I had the wind knocked out of me. I knew something was wrong so I went in bed earlier.
This morning, I woke up to this excrucuating pain in my throat! It was so painful I nearly yelled! Drank a few glasses of water and the pain still didn't go away, so I took a lozenges to soothe my throat a little and went back to sleep.
I'm a medic student, so during class I told my teacher what happened. By then, the lymph node the right side of my neck had swollen to the size of a ping pong ball. The teacher prescribed me to antibiotics, amoxyxillin to be more exact, some antiallergic drug and some topical spray to relieve the sore throat.
Streptococcal infections are also linked with fever, but I didn't have any, or if I did, I didn't notice. But from the mirror, I could see that my throat was really red.
So those are the symptoms of Strep throat. Not only from the point of view of a medical student, but also from one who is having it at the moment!

Serious pain!
I usually feel it in my ears too.
The key is you gotta gargle w/ salt water and u have to go to the doc to get antibiotics.
Orange juice seems to make it worse. Where in the case of "sore throat" orange juice makes it bettah!
