Question Posted Friday October 15 2010, 5:44 pm

symptoms:

dry/itchy throat

dry coughing

some discomfort in my throat and constantly feeling the need to clear it.

i've had strep throat about 5 times, but that was back in 1st-4th grade. i haven't since then. does this sound like strep throat or just the common cold symptoms?

Sounds like a regular sore throat. Strep is easy to recognize because your tonsils will swell up and develop white spots on them. You'll also see worse symptoms like dizziness, fatigue and fever.

I basically live on popsicles, sorbet, herbal tea and NeoCitran (Theraflu if you're American) when I have a sore throat. Stick to soft foods like applesauce, soup and the like. Stay away from anything sugary or carbonated.
