Sore Throat? Does it Hurt to Swallow? It Could Be Strep

Strep Sore Throat 

Strep throat (or streptococcal bacteria) is a painful and contagious infection of the mucous membranes and tonsils. It results in swelling and inflammation within the lining in the back of the throat. Strep is a common cause of sore throat. However, not every sore throat is strep. In teens and school aged children, a sore throat is the most common symptom. The infection throat is most often contracted in either early spring or late fall. Often, a sore throat is caused by a virus and resolves on its own. However, strep throat is bacterial and likely needs prompt medical attention to prevent other complications.
