Can you get bumps in the back of your throat when you have strep throat?

Question

....Behind your tonsils...

Answer 1

Strep throat is a contagious disease (meaning that you catch it from another person). It is caused by infection with group A streptococci (pronounced: strep-toe-kok-sigh) bacteria, and it's very common among teens. The symptoms of strep throat include fever and stomach pain, along with red and swollen tonsils.

Strep throat usually requires a trip to the doctor and a dose of antibiotics. But with the proper medical care - along with plenty of rest and fluids -
Most sore throats are caused by viruses - not the strep bacteria. If you have a runny nose, cough, hoarseness, and red or runny eyes in addition to your sore throat, it's probably a virus and will clear up on its own.

Strep throat is different. If you have it, you'll probably know within about 3 days. Signs that you may have strep throat include:

red and white patches in the throat
trouble swallowing
tender, swollen glands (lymph nodes) on the sides of your neck
red, enlarged tonsils
headache
lower stomach pain
fever
general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
loss of appetite and nausea
rash
If your throat is sore and you have any of these other strep throat symptoms, it's definitely time to see your doctor

Answer 2

Yes, you can get those. My daughter kept having attacks of strep throat over a period of several years. At first, they would only come a couple times a year and then started becoming more frequent. It got to the point where she was getting sick nearly every week. The doctor recommended she get her tonsils out, which she did. It's been almost two years and she hasn't had an attack of strep throat since.

Answer 3

yes, you can. when I have had strep, I had white spots in the back of my throat and it really hurt to swallow.

sure hope you feel better soon!

drink lots of fluids....
