Throat Ache!

I rarely go to the doctor. (And I mean rarely. I waited out walking pneumonia for several months this winter.) But I won't mess with strep. It can actually go to your heart and make you very very sick. A simple way to help you know if you have it is to have someone look at the back of your throat with a flashlight. If there are little white dots, it's strep. If there aren't, well, it could probably still be strep. Take TONS of vitamin C. TONS. It will help. Let us know what the doc says!
