Yes it is possible . Strep throat is caused by bacteria. It is most common is teenagers and school going childen. Make sure that you visit a doctor if the symptoms last for too long. You may have to get on medications.

As my throat was both swollen and overflowing with saliva, I found it very helpful to prop myself up on pillows while sleeping rather than lying flat as the drool would often wake me up and disrupt my sleep.Thanks
Actually all children have worries and doubts. But some kids and teens who have obsessive-compulsive disorder can’t stop worrying, no matter how much they want the worrying to go away.
My daughter is just 10 year old and she suffered by strep throat time. what to do?
My sister, she woke up with a soar throat & says her eyes are heavy. She just recently spent the night at my cousin house on Sunday, and they had just got over strep throat. Is it possible she could have it. How long can a person carry strep throat without it really effecting them.
I am pretty sure I have strep throat. I have a lump the size of a watermelon in my lymph nodes and I keep running a fever. I sleep an obscene amount and feel like total crap. Any suggestions on what I can do to feel better?
Strep throat is common now a days among child. So take complete precaution to avoid it’s harm. One of my college friend is suffering from last two weeks.

Viral throat infections can hurt just as bad or worse than strep throat infections. You need to get a strep test done to determine which kind you have because untreated strep can damage the valves in your heart and needs to be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics do not work for viral throat infections. Both should be treated with regular dosing of either tylenol or motrin, warm salt water gargles, increased fluid intake – cold often feels best, and rest. You need to see your doctor and get a throat culture done.
I just started antibiotics for strep throat tonight around 8, I have class tomorrow at 6 and don’t want to go if there is a chance I could spread it to others. Should I be safe by then?

Strep throat is often passed from person to person. Whenever a one that has strep throat breathes, coughs, or sneezes, tiny droplets together with the strep bacteria type in the air. These droplets may be breathed in by people. Should you encounter strep, it may need 2 to days before you begin to get symptoms.
I have sore throat which is really painful with headache but I have managed to control the headache with motrin but the sore throat is still a problem. Are there some things one can do to sooth and control the pain of sore throat?
Strep throat is a contagious infection, spread through close contact with an infected individual. A definitive diagnosis is made based on the results of a throat culture. However, this is not always needed as treatment may be decided based on symptoms.
A throat culture is the gold standard for the diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis with a sensitivity of 90–95%.A rapid strep test (also called rapid antigen detection testing or RADT) may also be used. While the rapid strep test is quicker, it has a lower sensitivity (70%) and statistically equal specificity (98%) as throat culture
Thank you for this description, I just would like to add:
The most common symptoms of strep throat are:
* A sudden, severe sore throat.
* Pain when you swallow.
* Fever over 101F.
* Swollen tonsils and lymph nodes.
* White or yellow spots on the back of a bright red throat.
You may also have a headache and belly pain. Less common symptoms are a red skin rash, vomiting, not feeling hungry, and body aches.
So, if you don’t have 2 or three of these symptoma, you don’t have probably strep throat.
Avoid certain foods – Avoid dairy products and sugary products, which can make diarrhea worse. Also, try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and fatty or highly seasoned foods.Ease back into eating – Stop eating and drinking for a few hours to give the stomach time to adjust to food and beverages. Gradually introduce bland, easy-to-digest foods into the diet. Try soda crackers, toast, gelatin, bananas, rice and chicken. If nausea returns, stop eating.
I’ve been sick and I’ve been throwing up and yesterday it hurt worse and my throat has hurt all day. Not sore throat hurt, like throat rip hurt. Does a rip in your throat heal on its own or do you need to go to a doctor or do you know any remedies to heal faster or such?

Thanks for the info – useful for when I have kids!
Strep Throat can cause a lot of harm if not cured properly or not given due care and medication. One of friends had strep throat and he would just cough all through the day, and he even got down with viral fever that made it pretty worse.
