Some Chicago-area doctors say strep cases have been rising in recent weeks and months, but as summer gets underway, doctors warn the symptoms may not always be obvious.
Tiny, red spots on the roof of the mouth, called petechiae"If you have the classic symptoms of strep, which is fever - whether it's low grade, like, you know, 100.1 or even 101 or 102, which is high grade - you do not have much of cough symptoms but you're having a lot of throat pain, you feel itchiness, you feel you're having difficulty swallowing, you feel every time you drink or eat something it causes pain in your throat ... you must always get tested.
."The bacteria can spread to others if someone touches those sores or comes into contact with fluid from the sores."Symptoms for this type of infection could include"red, itchy sores that break open and leak a clear fluid or pus for a few days" and"a crusty yellow or 'honey-colored' scab forms over the sore."
"If you're feeling that you are developing infection of your skin, you're seeing more yellowish color, pussy discharge or crusting around your skin, especially on your face ... or you have an open wound, you just had a fracture or you just fell somewhere and you have an open wound where you're seeing a puss kind of discharge coming out, it's always good to swab it and send it to see if it's growing strep infection.
