The bacterium is called "streptococcal pharyngitis". This is the strain which causes strep throat. There are many other causes for sore throat as well, so be sure and check with your doctor if you have a fever of 101 or higher. Strep throat can only be diagnosed 100 percent by running blood tests, so just because you have a sore throat doesn't mean you have strep. Drink plenty of fluids because fluids help the body rid itself of toxins as well as keep you hydrated and helps to move that mucous out of the body.
