What Causes Sore Throat And Pain While Swallowing?
Hi there, I'm getting over a cold that started out as a sore throat and my throat has felt fine for a few days. Now my throat sort of hurts again, but only a little when I swallow and i'm very tired. My roommate has strep, does this mean I have strep as well?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You should get throat swab for Strept. and ASO titres.
You should see to your doctor and discuss with him to start you on antibiotics for that.
I usually use Augmentin for this purpose.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
