Depends on your age. Strep isn’t really something a person in their late 30s-40 get

Late 30s, had it within the last couple years. Was surprised by how much it sucked. Felt like swallowing glass for a few days.

Yeah you’re probably nearing the end of that stuff but get tested. They can do it at the rapid clinics plus you will be seen by a Dr. as well

Strep ain’t no joke as an adult.Worse sore throat I’ve ever had. Kid kept bringing it home from day care a couple of years ago and I got it 5 times in three months. I could diagnosis it myself by that point.

Yeah, second this. I know a lot of my friends had strep recently. Same symptoms as you’re describing.

Fun fact you don’t have to have a sore throat to have strep. Anyways I had it several years ago and it was probably the sickest I’ve ever been. I was not feeling right for a good month.
