Strep throat is a type of infection that causes inflammation and irritation in the throat. Strep throat accounts for only a small percentage of sore throats.
Strep throat infection is common in children aged between 5 and 15. However, adults who are around toddlers and adolescents are also at risk of contracting the disease.
The disease is caused by a bacteria called A Streptococcus. It spreads from close proximity, direct contact and sharing utensils with someone with a strep throat infection.
Look out for symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, headache, lack of appetite, constant chills, swollen lymph nodes on the neck, trouble swallowing, nausea, and vomiting.
