Hurts like fury when you swallow. When you press in on the outside of your throat you can feel your swollen glands. Will be accompanied by fever. Get a flashlight and go to the bathroom. Look in the mirror, open your mouth really big and say "AHHHH". Shine the flashlight so you can see your throat. Do you see white spots among the red places? Probably strep. Untreated strep throat can damage your heart valves and cause lots of health problems in years to come. Some people even end up having to have heart valves replaced from the damage caused by untreated strep so if you think you have strep, go see your doctor and get a culture.

99 isn't a fever, it's within the normal range. The symptoms of a Strep throat infection don't include coughing, sneezing and a runny nose. Have your doctor look at this. If it turns out you have a Strep infection, I'd say you also have something going on as well. Could be you have the flu, which is viral, and tonsillitis, which is usually viral and is a potential complication of flu or a cold.

i get strep throat all the time and it hurts very much. Sawllowing is usually especially painful. So, if your throat hurts badly and it is going around , then you probably do have it, so go to the doctor and they will run a strep test. Then they can give you medicine and pretty soon you will feel much better!
Get well soon!

You have a bad sore throat...my doc said one of the tale tale sign of strep is a very sore throat along with a raging headache. He said most of the people who have strep actually complain of a severe headache and then go on to mention a bothersome throat.

It hurts BAD....you don't want to swallow....it takes alot of will power to just handle letting a few drops of liquid drip down your throat. Have you ever had a scrape and had it heal to the bandaid? Every swallow feels like a bad scrape being ripped from a bandaid.....just in your throat.

It hurts to swallow anything. That's basically the best way to describe it. It starts out by just feeling it in your throat, and then it increases into pain.

it burns and stings and it's hard to swallow, and if you look down your throat with a flashlight you see white patches.
step throat can be serious if not treated, so get to a doctor so they can give you antibiotics.
