Should i see a doctor if i have a soar throat with no symptoms of strep throat?

by Symptom Advice on September 3, 2011

I have a soar throat enexpectedly, but i have no runny nose coughing sneezing or anything but a sore throat. I have checked to see if i have signs for strep but all of them didnt fit my throat…

I didnt see any symptoms of strep but i do have a really bad throatache and no coughing of any cold symptoms…. should i visit a doctor? or could it just be sinus drainage?

I've had strep throat more than once ( it was a horrible experience ) and each time I had it , it was different. like one time I couldn't even talk and just last month when i had it, I would have never thought it would be strep throat. Sore throats usually last a 4 days at maximum but strep throats usually are more severe and long and hurt more. Look at the inside of your mouth to see if its swollen and red, if it is it's probably strep. Strep throats usually have a fever with it too. Antibiotics the doctor gives you works.
