I'm pretty sure I have strep throat but there is no chance of getting to the doctor today. I'm fine right? Webmd says that you can get by without the antibiotics, it just takes longer to heal and will be more painful. Kids both just had viruses with very high fevers. When I got the same I thought "no biggie" but then my throat went all nasty. I don't think my kids had the throat problem. Just the fever. Thoughts? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

you are crazy! strep throat left untreated can lead to serious complications including Rheumatic fever! That happened to two people I know, including a 22yr. old who has to take antibiotics now for 10 yrs! Never ignore a sore throat and if you KNOW you have strep,that's just stupid. [ Reply | More ]

If left untreated - even if it seems to go away - it can lead to heart problems. Go to a doctor!!!! Or just google it if you don't believe us. [ Reply | More ]

Ok, ok. I went to the urgent care clinic and I do indeed have strep. You are all very right and I'm silly to think I might have been able to skip it. I'm up now making some mac & cheese because when I said that's the thing it seemed I could eat, DH did not offer to make it for me. bastard. [ Reply | More ]
