3. Fever – The Heat of the Battle
With strep throat, fever often joins the fray, signaling the body’s battle against the bacterial invasion. It’s not just a slight increase in temperature; we’re talking about a fever that’s hard to miss.
The warmth starts subtly, but soon, it’s a full-blown fever. You might feel chills and find yourself bundling up, trying to shake off a cold that’s not there.
Your body becomes a battlefield, the fever a weapon against the bacterial enemy. It’s an exhausting fight, one that saps your energy and leaves you seeking the comfort of your bed.
Even as you rest, the fever rages on, a relentless part of the body’s defense mechanism. It’s a clear signal to seek medical advice, as the fever can lead to dehydration and other complications if left unchecked. (3)
