Do I really need to go to the doctor if I don't think I have strep?!

Question: My preschooler recently tested positive for strep and now my live-in boyfriend has strep. I don't think I have it. My throat is just a little sore, but I have a sinus headache from dust allergies (cleaning in the basement). Do I really need to go get a strep test?

if you start running fever yes, otherwise, no unless you notice a suspicious rash, another possible symptom...

my kids have had strep a couple of times and I have never gotten it. once I had it and no one else got it. just don't drink after each other. and use antibacterial soap.
