How to Tell If You Have Strep Throat
The only way to know for sure whether you have strep throat is to get tested for it. However, there are a few symptoms that may indicate the presence of the infection. If you’re experiencing any of the following, you should visit us for a strep test:
- A sore throat that comes on very quickly
- Difficulty swallowing
- Swollen tonsils
- White spots on the tonsils or throat
- Fever
- Tender lymph nodes in the neck
- Small red spots on the roof of the mouth
If you notice that a rash has developed in conjunction with the above symptoms, the infection may have progressed into scarlet fever. This is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Strep Throat Treatment
If your strep test comes back positive, we’ll prescribe the treatment you need to recover. Typically, strep throat is treated with antibiotics. We keep many common antibiotics in stock at our urgent care center and will likely be able to fill your prescription during your visit.
