My throat has been sore since yesterday morning, and now it's to the point I can't open my mouth without pain, and it kills to swallow. I've had strep, and it doesn't feel like that. No swollen glands or tonsils, no fever. Any ideas? I hate going to the doctors, I go enough for the kids... TIA
Re: nbr: doesn't feel like strep...
i had the same exact thing and went to the doctor because i was afraid it was strep.
I had an awful sore throat w/ no other symptoms. She said it didnt think it was strep but did a culture anyway. It came back negative.
she said she thought it was allergies. from all the humidity and the weather, she said there was a lot of mold growing. i think she was right because it was gone in a day or two.
