I think you can most likely rule out strep, unless your throat hurts like...like someone put a fiery torch down your throat. If anything at all works, anything, to make it feel better, it ain't strep.
I really do hope you feel better soon.

I've had it several times before. I never get the sore throat. You can have strep and even not have a symptom. You see the bacteria that causes it is the same that causes Scarlet Fever. I had it several times as a child. A milder version of SF called Scarletina with no high fever or rash.
My Pediatrician explain to me at 8 it was because I'm not allergic to the toxin I don't get the bad symptoms. He gave me the pink stuff and I was good in a week. That would happen four times till I turn 12 then I started getting strep which he told me is the same thing but it's in your throat. I'd would get it in my teens several times. I can only remember once I got the severe sore throat. I was 18. I moved out of the hell hole at 21 to a much healthier life. It's the region HITCH. I haven't had to deal with this crap for over 15 years.
I've started Airborne. It's the best I can do with no health insurance.
My throat is scratchy and I sound husky. I am running a fever and very tired. My head hurts and Motrin does nothing for the fever.
As for hubby. It all depends what mood he is in. He can be very helpful or he can be spiteful. I also suspect like his parent he is bipolar. I've been trying to get him help but he is in denial.
