Signs Your Child Has Strep Throat
- Sudden, severe sore throat
- Fever (often 101°F or higher)
- Swollen, tender lymph nodes in the neck
- White patches or pus on the tonsils
- Red, swollen tonsils
- Headache
- Stomach pain or nausea
- No cough (key difference from a cold)
Strep vs. Cold: Strep usually has NO cough and NO runny nose. If your child has a sore throat with cough and congestion, it is more likely a viral cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can strep throat be diagnosed online?
Yes. Our providers assess strep symptoms via telehealth. If strep is suspected, we prescribe antibiotics and can coordinate a rapid strep test at a local pharmacy if needed.
How do I know if my child has strep vs. a cold?
Strep throat typically causes sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and white patches on the tonsils — without cough or runny nose. Colds usually include cough and congestion.
What antibiotic treats strep throat in children?
Amoxicillin or penicillin is the standard treatment. For penicillin-allergic children, azithromycin or cephalexin may be prescribed.
When can my child go back to school after strep?
Your child can return to school 24 hours after starting antibiotics and once they are fever-free for 24 hours.
