Get tested for strep. Same symptoms and was positive for it today. Nurse said they are seeing large numbers of strep in adults.

Depends on your age. Strep isn’t really something a person in their late 30s-40 get

Late 30s, had it within the last couple years. Was surprised by how much it sucked. Felt like swallowing glass for a few days.

Yeah you’re probably nearing the end of that stuff but get tested. They can do it at the rapid clinics plus you will be seen by a Dr. as well

Strep ain’t no joke as an adult.Worse sore throat I’ve ever had. Kid kept bringing it home from day care a couple of years ago and I got it 5 times in three months. I could diagnosis it myself by that point.

Yeah, second this. I know a lot of my friends had strep recently. Same symptoms as you’re describing.

Fun fact you don’t have to have a sore throat to have strep. Anyways I had it several years ago and it was probably the sickest I’ve ever been. I was not feeling right for a good month.
