WTF
Yeah, I've got a summer cold too. Don't know if its strep. But I was coughing quite a bit at work today and sucking down the cough drops like candy. Other people too. Might take tomorrow off.
What I learned is that Strep can come on quickly and doesn't usually have coughing along with it.
I went to the doctor and got antibiotics-supposed to be not contagious after 24 hours. If I didn't-I would be contagious for maybe 2 weeks.
But I was probably getting sick by last Friday anyway.
I feel better now. not 100% but better.
I'm still not feeling 100% either. I need to get to urgent care/the emergency room and get the throat checked out. My throat feels dry all the time, sore and painful, coughing up thick mucus, and I'm pretty sure there is a lump on my throat that shouldn't be there. Plus the occasional difficulty breathing and swallowing. Today is the second day I took off work because of this shit. I should of have had it checked out back in February when my throat was bothering me but then mostly went away.
