A sore throat is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor, especially during seasonal changes. While many sore throats are caused by viral infections and improve on their own, some are due to strep throat, a bacterial infection that requires proper medical care. Understanding how strep throat presents differently in children and adults is important for early diagnosis and prevention of complications. Many parents worry when their child suddenly develops fever and throat pain, while adults may ignore symptoms thinking it’s a routine cold. Learning to recognize the warning signs can make a significant difference in recovery.
