Throat
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.
Seeking medical treatment for strep throat will help you find relief quickly. We treat strep throat with oral antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Azithromycin, Ceftin and more. To see more about what we prescribe, review the treatment section below.

“I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was trying to get a strep test and every place I called I was getting the “sorry we’re booked out for a month” and the base cost of the visit was gonna be 200-250$ before any tests. I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours. So instead of waiting & paying around 300$...I paid 40$!! I’m very pleased."
“I can’t believe I did not know about this kind of service! This was absolutely perfect for my health concern and they were able to provide me with the necessary medication and with such cinch. Completely recommended this service. For minor health concerns, this can save you an unnecessary and costly trip to an urgent care center.”
