Strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis) is an infection that occurs in the back of the throat and the tonsils. It is caused by group A streptococcus. Infected persons often develop a dry or itchy throat, making it painful to swallow. Strep throat is particularly common in children aged 5 to 15, but adults are susceptible as well. The bacteria that causes strep throat is highly infectious and infections are most likely to occur in late winter and early spring.

Strep throat can also cause several flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms often mislead strep throat sufferers into believing they really have the flu. However, if you’re experiencing swelling or redness, or see white patches or dots in the back of your throat, it’s likely to be strep.
