These are often the same thing: bacterial growths of the genus Streptococcus are a potentially severe form of throat infection (pharyngitis). However, most cases of strep throat are not serious. They are usually treated to avoid complications such as rheumatic fever.

What if you think you have strep throat but you do not have any difficulties swallowing?

Classic Strep throat infection demonstates with rapid onset high fever and severe inflamed and sore throat. If you tested positive for strep without these symptoms, you MAY be a carrier. A small percentage of the population will test positive, when they don't actually have an active infection to treat. They will often have "recurring" strep throat "infections" that are unresponsive to antibiotics. Consider asking your doctor if you could be a carrier.
