Throat Pain that Usually Comes on Quickly
One of the first symptoms of strep throat is a painful throat similar to that of a sore throat. The bacteria that cause strep throat which is known as streptococcus infects the tonsils and inflame it, causing the throat to be painful. What will make you know that what you have is beyond just a normal sore throat caused by cold are the symptoms that follow this throat pain and the severity of those symptoms? A sore throat will always be accompanied by a cough which is not a symptom of strep throat.
