more
Strep throat (or "Streptococcal pharyngitis", or "Streptococcal Sore Throat") is a form of Group A streptococcal infection that affects the pharynx.
Symptoms
Sore throat, whitening/reddening of the tonsils, fever, problems swallowing and eating. Other symptoms may include a bad headache or an upset stomach. Drinking hot liquids helps. Orange juice and grapefruit juice should not be consumed, because the acids in them may irritate the throat. Strep throat can sometimes affect vocal cords and cause hoarse voice in early infection stages.
