I read on the internet about sore throats and researched my symptoms and it sounds like I have strep throat but, my throat doesn't hurt really badly. I wanted the opinion and symptoms of others who have strep throat.
My symptoms include...
1) A sudden onset of a sore throat on monday followed in three hours by a high fever
2) Headache
3) Throat feels dry and no mater how much water I drink, it still feels dry
4) Hurts to swallow but on a 1-10 scale I would give it a 4
5) I looked at the back of my throat today and I was able to see that it was bright red w/ white patches and I could see my tonsils
Today I woke up feeling just fine but I think I might have not taken it as easy as I should have because my sore throat is coming back really fast and I think I may have a temperature again.
I have been drinking a lot of fluids and I'm going to start sucking on raw ginger (natural anti-biotic). Anything else you might sugest that does not include pills (can't swallow them)? Thanks! :)
