Identifying Sore Throat & Strep Throat

A sore throat is a common ailment marked by discomfort, pain, or scratchiness in the throat. It can result from various causes, including viral infections, bacteria, allergens, and irritants.

One of the most recognized causes of sore throat or pharyngitis is strep throat, a bacterial infection caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria. Symptoms of strep throat may include severe throat pain, difficulty swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, and fever. Other bacteria can also cause throat infections.

Understanding Upper Respiratory Infections (URIs)

An upper respiratory infection (URI) affects the nasal passages, sinuses, and throat, causing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and congestion. These infections can be viral or bacterial. Their timelines can vary and range from being self-limiting to non resolving and having complications, requiring expert URI treatment.

At MI Express Urgent Care, our approach to upper respiratory infection treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, preventing complications, and ensuring you feel better as quickly as possible.

FAQs

A sore throat typically lasts a few days to a week, depending on the underlying cause.

Individuals with strep throat can be contagious for about 24 to 48 hours after starting antibiotics or until symptoms resolve.

URIs usually last between 5 to 10 days, but symptoms may persist longer in some cases.

Viral sore throats often accompany other symptoms like cough and congestion, while bacterial sore throats tend to have more severe pain and fever. Testing may be needed for a definitive diagnosis.

A healthcare provider will evaluate your symptoms, including mucus color and cough presence, and may perform tests to determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment for your URI.

While mild cases may resolve independently, seeking treatment for strep throat is crucial to prevent complications.

Avoid acidic or spicy beverages, as they may irritate your throat further.

If you have a URI, staying home is best to avoid spreading the infection, especially if you have significant symptoms.
