Guide To Strep Throat Symptoms

Fever

While a slight elevation in body temperature can occur if a patient is suffering from an allergic response, a higher temperature is typically an indication of a bacterial infection. A sore throat caused by a virus may also cause a rise in body temperature, but patients will most likely experience other symptoms not associated with strep throat in these cases. Elevated temperature with strep throat can come on suddenly, just like the pain. Body temperature with strep throat can become very high, so it is important to see a medical practitioner for a high fever or if strep throat is suspected.
