The only thing is that I only have 1 and 1/2 kidneys because I lost a half of one when i was younger, and that makes me get strep ALL the time... And when I have strep, I dont even notice it until its horribly bad like my throat swells up and I cant talk.. So I dont think its that... But it could possibly be it...

You cannot get a virus infection that quickly so if that is what you have, you were exposed to it at least a week earlier at some point. If all your nasel and throat mucus stays clear it is just viral so take tylenol for the headache and fever and drink lots of juice and water to flush your system out. If the mucus turns any color like yellow or green, then your infection is most likely turning into a bacterial infection and you will need an antibiotic to get over it. There is only one other thing I know of that is going around the USA and we just got a paper from our health department on it, and it is a meninjitis of some sort. They said that it acts like the flu or a cold at the onset of it and within hours to days sometimes can turn deadly. Please don't let me scare you but keep an eye on your condition and if it worsens then seek medical attention. Its better to get checked out and have it nothing but a cold than to go unchecked and have it deadly. Hope you feel better soon.

You have been sick for probably about 2 days now. Sounds like you have strep throat. With any infection there is an a time where the bacteria is building up in your system and you have no idea that anything is wrong until what happened to you bam. Just make sure you gargle warm salt water every 2 hours and take some Tylenol for you fever also try some throat spray to help numb your throat also drink plenty of fluids. If this still persists for more that 2 days I would see your doctor.

Sounds like you better have a strep test. Sore throat, fever, no signs of a cold. Typical strep throat signs. Better get to the doctor. Strep get's real bad if left untreated. You need an antibiotic and will need a perscription. Good luck.

A similar situation happened to me in June, and I ended up having strep throat. The fever will give you the headaches and goosebumps. Are your tonsils swollen, and/or are there any white spots on them? That's a pretty good indication of strep.

You let your immune guard down for 30Min's while you were sleeping.It sounds like you have contracted a flu like virus at some point between 7am and 930pm.The moment you went to sleep that sneaky little virus saw an opportunity to attack.Get yourself to a doctor and get some antibiotics or go to a drug store and get some cold and flu tablets,you ll come good,hope you feel better soon.

You need to go to the urgent care center and have it checked out. You probably do have strep or a staph or some type of bacterial infection , but they can lead into mono and meningitist so it can get very, very serious.

Take some Tylenol for the fever, drink lots of fluids, and get back in bed!

Strep hits fast and hard because it's bacterial. Maybe that's what you got.
