10 Strep Throat Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: Sore Throat
A sore throat is pain, discomfort, or irritation of the throat. Pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and trauma are common causes of sore throats. It is a common and nonspecific symptom mostly seen in viral infections, tumors, and acid reflux disease.
A sore throat can be managed using pain medications, such as paracetamol or acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Antibiotics may be prescribed. Home remedies include gargling with warm salt water and resting the voice.
