Anyone ever had strep throat??
I don't know what's going on with me, but this seems like more than just a typical sore throat.
No fever, but I am having a hard time swallowing and my throat is REALLY sore. My glands also feel swollen in my neck and my neck is a bit stiff. Some congestion, but not much, and I am coughing.
I've also had a headache off and on the past couple days.
I've had a sore throat like this for three days and it's not getting better.

Re: Anyone ever had strep throat??
I've had it many many times. Sounds like you might have it. Do you have any white bumps in the back of your throat that you can see?
I'd make a doc appt so they can do a culture to tell.
any white patches on the back of the throat? that's usualy how strep looks. I've had it a million times. usually there is a fever though, achy joints, no apetite.
is your pulse elevated as well - i was told that was a sign of a strep infection (when I went and it was like 140)...
every year of my life from teh age of 5-20.
White puss pockets were my tell/tell sign and not eating. I never got a fever with them. My mom would always be "surprised" I had strep.
Go to a doctor!!! Its nothing to mess with...especially while pregnant and with Nora! it can be bad for kids to get.

just open your mouth wide and look. you can't miss it.
get a flashlight...it will be hard to angle your head right so the bathroom lights light up your throat AND see into the mirror. If you want tos ee them yourself, get a flashlight. If your DH doesn't mind looking, he probably can see without a flashlight.
