Ouch... Do i have "Strep Throat"?!


Question: Ouch... Do i have "Strep Throat".?
My symptoms are:

Cant swallow very well
Cant talk, have to whisper
Inflamed throat
Cold, flu - temperature changes from boiling hot to seriously freezing
(i've tried medication but it doesn't seem to work...
I really don't want to go to the doctors because i have always hated going, and it smells bad, loll.., not that it is unclean or anything.)

Answers:
sounds to me like you have strep throat or bronchitis, i cant diagnose you over the internet so you'd have to go to your physician for that. please go to the doctor because when sever strep gets worse than it is, the infection can travel to your heart and induce heart failure.Health Question & Answer

ive been hospitalized from strep many times. i get it badHealth Question & Answer

im sorry but you can't really diagnose strep throat without a culture.
i've had strep plenty of times- each time differed from throbbing throat pain which i couldn't deal with, to little irritation that i thought was nothing.

you really need to do go the doctors, i know it's not fun, but if you don't treat strep throat and you do have it, you could become even sicker. they won't do anything to you except give you a quick swab to the back of the throat (no big deal trust me, i was scared but i realized that was it.? lol) and then they give you some antibiotics.

and if you do have strep, once you get the antibiotics you'll feel SO much better in no time!

good luck i hope you feel better soon (:Health Question & Answer

Well when i went to the doctors for strep throat they said that to check if you have it take a flashlight and shine it in the back of your throat...if you see white spots then you probably have it...but you should go to the doctors because you don't want to get anyone else sick :)Health Question & Answer

strep can go away all by its self, but not always without complications and sure as hell not quickly nor without exposing others.

Though-en up! Call you dr.

sure the Dr's office does not smell as bad as the smell coming from your mouth
