Parents have been asking me some painful questions about strep throats and why we need to treat them with antibiotics. Well, I don’t want this condition to be sorely missed by anyone so I shall share ...

said Griessel. “Is the sore throat that you have just drainage or potentially into strep throat?” Griessel said if it’s strep throat, you will definitely need to get in to see a doctor.

Most often, symptoms are mild - a sore throat or a skin infection that can be easily treated with antibiotics. But strep A can cause a range of things - and some of them are more serious.
