Strep Throat Symptoms Treated
While not every sore throat is indicative of a strep throat infection, it’s important to get a proper diagnosis in order to follow the best treatment regimen possible. Other conditions, like a viral infection or seasonal allergies, can also cause sore throat symptoms. Strep throat is a bacterial infection that affects the throat and tonsils. The infection is caused by a type of bacteria known as Streptococcus pyogenes. It’s highly contagious and spreads through contact with an infected person’s cough or sneeze, or by touching a surface contaminated with the bacteria.
Common strep throat symptoms we can treat include:
Sore/Strep Throat Diagnosis & Treatment Options
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and suspect you have been infected with strep throat, it’s important to seek medical attention. At AFC Urgent Care Clark, our medical providers can accurately diagnose your condition through a discussion of your medical history and physical examination. If additional lab testing is necessary, we are able to perform a rapid strep test or throat culture to further determine the cause of your discomfort.
Once diagnosed, your provider will make the best recommendations for care. If your sore throat is caused by a viral infection, we may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, rest, and hydration to help ease your symptoms and aid your recovery. However, if your diagnosis reveals you are positive for strep throat, antibiotics may be effective at clearing the infection. Our providers may prescribe the appropriate medication so you can get the relief you need. We understand that recovering from a sore throat can take time, so our team is committed to providing ongoing support to ensure you make a full recovery.
