Does this sound like strep throat?!
Question:
Does this sound like strep throat?
I felt fine all day yesterday and then at night my throat got really sore, I took some advil and went to sleep and this morning it still hurts a lot. Its bright red with a white streak/dot in it. Should I go to the doctor or just try to wait it out? I dont think i have a fever but I feel really fatigued even though I woke up only a few hours ago. Thanks

Funny how I never got dry palms the 30 times I had strep in my life!!
Things to look for:
1) White DOTS on your throat
2) Fever
3) Basic flu-like symptoms: achiness, etc
If you think that it could be strep, see a doctor. That's the best advice I can give you. Don't fool around with step.
