Having had strep which eventually evolved into rheumatic fever, I can tell you for sure, there is seldom a sore throat as a symptom. Strep is not synonymous with sore.
The first bout I had with it did produce rheumatic fever, which has a whole different set of symptoms (I was eight years old) and the second bout was the beginning of the onset of CFIDS.
It is nothing to trifle with and is highly contagious. But I'm sure the doctor has told you all that. Take care of all of you! *HUGS to Sally*

Fortunately, everyone else is still feeling fine.
Off we go for a thrilling bout of Cub Scoutery.

Not sure about this but I believe there are different varieties of streptococcus. Having had “strep throat” I sympathize — it hurts!
