How many people are infected with strep throat every year?
way to many people have had strep throat
Can the common sore throat have the same amount of pain as strep throat?
Yes, an ordinary sore throat can cause as much pain or discomfort as Strep throat. The main differences are the classic white sores on the tonsils seen in Strep Throat. Strep can also cause high fevers in children, but not always. Some children develop no fever or only a low-grade fever, until they are very ill. Some kids who repeatedly get Strep throat stop having ear pain each time; an alternate symptom is stomach pain caused by the specific proteins that bacteria produce that is then swallowed and attacks the stomach walls.
What does it mean when you get small white particles stuck to the back or wall of your throat?
I have had Strep Throat many times over as a kid. Every time I got rid of it, it came back again and again. Each and every time the back of my throat had small moldy looking white spots all over. Each time I was tested it was Strep. Another answer Best thing you can do is to consult your doctor, then you will know for sure.

If people around a person have strep throat and others just have a sore throat is it most likely they will get strep even if they do not have a fever 2 days after the symptoms start?
Strep is pretty contagious, so if you have been around someone with strep and then within days start getting a sore throat there is a good chance you now have it. I think alot of times we want to make a mental "check mark" next to each symptom of illness and if don't have all them we aren't sure we are truly sick. When we just need to realize everyone is different and our bodies all react differently to viruses and bacteria. So I would say if you have a sore throat and have recently been exposed to someone with strep I would get it checked out.

Strep throat is common among children and teenagers, between the ages of 5 to 15. Inflammatory disorders of the pharynx most commonly present as throat or neck pain. Dysphagia, odynophagia, and airway obstruction are other frequent complaints.
