Strep Throat Testing & Treatment – Hillsboro, OR

A sore throat can be a symptom of many different illnesses. Although it can be uncomfortable to have a scratchy irritated throat, a typical sore throat should get better within a few days, without the need for treatment.

By comparison, strep throat is caused by a bacterium which is growing in your nasal canals and throat. It can often leave you unable to go about your daily routine without pain. It can cause you to be unable to eat or drink, and cause difficulty when swallowing.

The Symptoms of Strep Throat

When you have a strep throat, you’ll find yourself suffering from a high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and have white or red tonsils. If you have a sore throat and any of these other symptoms, you should get yourself checked by a medical professional. It’s better to find out before severe symptoms start rather than waiting for them to develop in something more serious and contagious.


Is Your Sore Throat Strep Throat?

Some symptoms of strep throat include:

  • Severely Sore Throat
