How to tell if it is strep throat or a sore throat
December 8, 2014
Article at a Glance
Most sore throats are part of a viral cold, but strep throat is caused by bacteria.
Sore throats caused by strep last longer and aren’t accompanied by other cold symptoms.
Most colds can be treated at home, but strep throat will need to be treated by your pediatrician.
