Fever, sore throat that feels like swallowing a pin-cushion, upset stomach. White patches visible on the back of the throat & tonsils. Some people vomit.

Aching all over tonsils red and swollen usually with large white pus pockets all over them VERY foul breath.Difficult swallowing. Fever.

when i had it, i slept all the time, and couldn't wake up for more than 20 minutes. i sweated like crazy and couldn't swallow a thing. Get a flashlight and look at the back of your throat. If you have white spots, its strep!

RAW, really sore throat, is dangerous and needs an antibiotic.

The infection with strep bacteria causes symptoms within 1-3 days. You may develop a red throat with white patches. The tonsils are red and enlarged. There may be specks of pus present on the tonsils, or there may be a grey or white covering on the tonsils. With strep throat, people may also have trouble swallowing and may have tender, swollen lymph glands on the sides of the neck. These are other symptoms with strep throat: * Headache * Abdominal (lower stomach) pain * Fever * General discomfort, feeling ill or uneasy * Loss of appetite and nausea * Muscle pain * Joint stiffness * Skin rash

Look at the back of your throat, if it is red and you can hardly swallow, you probably have it. You better see a doctor!

everybody is right and also you may catch it twice within a 6-month period. i know because it happened to me. and im told if you get a 3rd time the tonsils have to go. which are an important part of the lymphatic system

Whiteing/Reddening of the tonsils, fever, problems swallowing and eating. Drinking hot liquids helps. Orange juice and grapefruit juice should not be consumed, because the acids in them may irritate the throat. Common symptoms of strep throat in children and adults include: Severe and sudden sore throat without coughing, sneezing, or other coldlike symptoms. Pain or difficulty with swallowing. Fever over 101 °F(38.3 °C); lower fevers may indicate a viral infection and not strep. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck. White or yellow spots or coating on the throat and tonsils. Bright red throat or dark red spots on the roof of the mouth at the back near the throat. Swollen tonsils, although this symptom may also be caused by a viral infection for more info: http://www.webmd.com/hw/strep_throat/hw54747.asp?printing=true/
