Is It Just a Sore Throat? Learn What Strep Throat Really Is and How It Spreads

What is Strep Throat?

Strep throat is a bacterial infection that affects the throat and tonsils, causing inflammation, irritation, and severe pain, leading to a sudden and intense sore throat. It is caused by streptococcal bacteria—most commonly group A streptococcus (GAS)—and can be highly contagious.

How Does Strep Throat Spread?

Strep throat is spread through the air in droplets when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. You may inhale these droplets or come into contact with them on surfaces, leading to infection.

What are the Symptoms of Strep Throat?

Common symptoms include:

Severe sore throat
Pain when swallowing
Fever
Swollen tonsils
Large lymph nodes
White or yellow spots on the tonsils
Tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth
Headache
Belly pain

If left untreated, strep throat can cause serious complications, which is why quick diagnosis and treatment are essential.
