So, I was home sick with a headache/stomach ache on thursday and friday and over the weekend it was still there. My throat was feeling a bit dry so I thought I might as well go get a strep test on saturday. It came out negative and they told me I had the flu. Now my throat hurts a little more. Is it possible I got strep throat after the test?
thanks!

Very rarely. The strep germs are present when you become ill and if you had a negative strep, it is probably viral. Tylenol or ibuprofen on a regular basis, salt water gargles, rest, running a humidifier in the bedroom where you sleep - all will help the sore throat. Expect it to take another 2-3 days at least before it feels better.
