Can you have strep throat and not have symptoms but give it to someone else?

You can most definitely give someone strep. You need to be under medication for 24 hours before you are no longer contagious. You can give it to someone by coughing on them or just being in close contact.

Can strep throat be present without white spots on the tonsils and red spots on the tongueif not what else can a severe sore throat without any other flu symptoms be?
Yes a severe sore throat could be strep throat, even without any visible marks or patches on the throat or tongue. I have tested positive for strep throat without any vomiting, stomach problems, or any oral patches to be seen several times.
Can you pass a strep throat to anyone else?
Yes. (i think)
Can you get a cold or sore throat from someone else?
Sure. Many people can be carriers of disease but not actually having symptoms themselves.
Is strep throat another name for tonsillitis?
It is actually the throat, but your tonsils get inflammed so nothing else can effect your throat.
What are the most common symptoms of strep throat?
Sore throats are a common condition that can have any number of causes. Post-nasal drip can cause the throat to become irritated. Excessive smoking can cause it, and a number of viral and bacterial conditions can contribute to the condition as well. One common bacterial infection that causes a sore throat and a fever as its two most common symptoms is strep throat. Most people get strep throat when they are children. As long as it is caught in time it is normally treated with a course of antibiotics that help the immune system do its job. Schools will usually demand that the child stay away from school for up to 24 hours after his symptoms have cleared up. A concerned parent who suspects his or her child might have contacted strep throat can help the diagnosis by making sure that the child is not coughing, sneezing or suffering from other cold symptoms. The condition is usually accompanied by a fever of 101 degrees or higher. Swollen lymph nodes also let a parent know that a child has a problem. If any of these symptoms occur, the best bet is to make a doctor’s appointment and see what he can do. Teenagers do get this sickness as well, but there is another condition, infectious mononucleosis that causes many of the same symptoms. If a teenager has been kissing, the odds are good that it is mono and not strep throat. Parents can do their teens and themselves a favor by not asking who they were kissing. A good medical professional will ask the same questions to determine who else might have been infected. Mononucleosis also includes fatigue as a symptom, which strep throat does not. The previous paragraphs have referred to strep throat as being a common condition in children. That does not mean it cannot occur in adults. It can and the symptoms are the same. People who have weakened immune systems due to age or conditions such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome can have this condition occur with other conditions.
Why do you get pimples on the throat that cause painful sores?
Well, those pimples can possibly be pus-filled sores that cause strep throat, a bacterial infection of the throat. Usually you get it from someone who you have had oral contact with, or has coughed or sneezed on you. The symptoms of strep throat, or streptococcal pharyngitis, are not being able to swallow very much, painful swelling in throat, pus-filled sores colored yellow or white, the lack of coughing, loss of appitite, and redness of throat. It can be treated with antibiotics or just plain comfort liquids such as tea. But be sure to see your doctor to be tested for this. Only 12% of sore throats end up as strep throat, and if you happen to have it, and do nothing to fix it, it can lead to serious conditions such as rheumatic fever, clogging of the heart valves, and making it hard for the host to the bacteria hard to breathe. I am in seventh grade and have just done an oral report on "My Favorite Bacterial/Viral Disease". Glad to

Can bacteria cause disease in humans?
Yes, a communicable disease can be given to another--hence the name 'communicable"
What do you do if you have had strep throat for more than 8 weeks and a verigo feeling?
You really should go and make an appointment with your doctor seriously! I never heard of someone having strep more than two weeks, I work in a doctors office and our patients come in all the time with strep but it does not take eight weeks to go away, it could also be something else going on with you. I am sure that you will need antibiotics, but if it is that severe, your doctor may even hospitalize you!
Can you have two different colds at the same time?
It is possible to have both a cold and strep throat, although they are not caused by the same thing. You've simply caught two different infections. A sore throat during a cold is often caused by post-nasal drip going down the back your throat and irritating it. However, any time you have a persistent sore throat, you should have it checked out. If you have strep throat, make sure you consistently take your antibiotics (finish the prescription!), and if you have any cold sores (or any other cuts anywhere else on your body)- be sure to take especially good care of them. Strep A - the bacteria which causes strep throat, is also responsible for causing nectrotizing fascitis, or flesh-eating disease.
