What will happen if a person has untreated strep throat?
If strep goes untreated, most people get over it naturally. A number of people have had strep for years and then gotten over it. Modern medicine greatly speeds up the healing process. With some people, it would become a chronic disease constantly causing pain. With a small group, it would lead to death.

It can be in some rare cases, although a normal healthy adult has nothing to worry about. Young children, people with weakened immune systems, and the elderly are much more likely to die from strep throat.

What are the signs of strep throat?
The most consistent and prominent symptoms are a sore throat and pain with swallowing. Classically the throat is solidly red and swollen with white patches (called exudates) although this can vary. The palate (roof of the mouth) may have small red dots (petechiae). Swollen lymph nodes ("glands" ) in the front of the neck are almost always present. A high fever and generalised aching in the joints and/ or muscles are also common.A diffuse red rash that is commonly described as "sand paper" and is associated with a red "strawberry" tongue suggests scarlet fever which is also caused by strep. The rash is generally not itchy and does not include hives. Other rashes are more suggestive of viral infections.Small children sometimes present with abdominal pain and even vomitting but this is not a common or prominent symptom in adults (unless from the antibiotics).Diarrhea generally is not from strep. Runny nose, head congestion and cough are also usually not associted with strep (they suggest viral infections).Strep is obviously contagious but not to the degree that most people assume. Only about 5% of siblings will catch strep when it is in the house. An infection "running through the whole house" and infecting multiple family members or a large percentage of the children in a day care center or school is usually a virus rather than strep. It should be kept in mind that the rapid strep tests (that give a result in 5 minutes) will be positive in 10% of people who do not have strep. So if 20 kids in a class get sick 2 will test positive by random chance even if it is just a virus. Despite this, people will cite those two cases and say that "strep is going around".Difficulty swallowing; uneven swelling of the throat (more swollen on one side); pain that goes down into the chest, especially with swallowing, and stiff neck are all signs of other complications and reasons to see the doctor immediately.Symptoms of Strep are high fever, soar throat and vomiting.symptomsdifficulty swallowingsudden feverdiscomfortloss of appetitenausearashred throat, with pus pocketssore throattenderness in the neck

Ive noticed that if a patient with parkinsons goes even a few hours off his/her medication time, can lead to immobility extreme shaking. So if Parkinsons goes untreated i would only assume that the person would get those symptoms.
What happens within a lymph node after a sore throat?
It becomes inflamed for a few days and then goes back to normal.
What happens if you had strep throat but you did not take all antibiotics?
In can develop into scarlet fever. If not treated properly, you can have serious problems with the heart and kidneys. Scarlet fever can also be fatal if not treated Take the antibiotic while you have strep or you are going to end up in the hospital or worse. BUT- Strep Throat can go away on its own. It is a bacterial infection. But if it is not treated with antibiotics you will be sick longer, and contagious longer which can cause the people around you to have a bigger chance of getting Strep too. So I would recommend going to the hospital or calling your doctor. If your too lazy and don't want to take the antibiotics stay home and make sure not to eat acitic foods such as tomatoes. Drink hot tea with honey. Soups will make it feel better too. And have ice cream and Popsicle. It numbs the swelling. NOT TREATED: Takes longer time to heal. (7 days). Longer time contagious. And increases the chance of family members from getting Strep. TREATED (with antibiotics): Heals in about 48 hours. Not contagious anymore after 24 hours of taking the antibiotics. Decreases the risk of family members to getting strep. REMEMBER LOTS OF SLEEP, LIQUIDS, HOT SOUPS/TEA, POPSICLE ETC. IT WILL GO BY FAST.
