Yeah allergies can give you a sore throught. If it's strep, check the inside of your throught with a flashlight, If you see white spots, go to the doctor, it's comtageous. It also comes with fever, and it'll be painful to swallow anything. But if your really that worried go see a doc anyway.

If your nose is running it could be an allergy but it's more a scratchy throat.
A sore throat alone with headache or general yuck is likely strep.
A sore throat with cold symptoms is a bad cold..
So it's tough - if you feel really bad, headache etc I'd go with your gut and say it's strep. Call the MD and get a culture.

allergies can indeed cause a sore throat, from post nasal drip. Strep would come with a high fever, and white plaques all over the inside of the throat. So, if you don't have a fever, it is likely your mother is right.

Yes it is very possible. If it feels hard to swallow, though, I would think you should go and see a doctor just to rule that out.
