2. Strep Throat
Strep throat is a relatively common condition that mostly affects children, but it can also affect adults. It is caused by an infection of the group A streptococcus bacterium. Although it can cause a very sore throat, strep throat in itself is not dangerous. However, if left untreated, it can develop into scarlet fever, and even rheumatic fever.
Thus, it is a good idea to get strep throat treated as soon as possible, so see a doctor when you recognize the signs. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, a sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.
