Identifying symptoms of strep throat early allows for a more effective treatment and faster symptom relief, and also reduces the chances of you spreading your infection to others. At Priority 1 Urgent Care, our office provides same-day symptom evaluation and diagnosis for suspected cases of strep throat.

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms of strep throat listed above, it is important that you seek medical care. Strep throat is caused by a bacterial infection in the throat and requires medical treatment to clear up the infection in most cases. Without proper care, your infection could worsen. At Priority 1 Urgent Care, our doctors will evaluate your throat to check for signs of an infection, and can perform diagnostic testing in our on-site lab to determine if a strep infection is the cause of your symptoms. Based on the evaluation, you may require treatment with antibiotics. There are other potential causes of a sore throat, so receiving an accurate diagnosis is critical to effectively resolving your symptoms. Your doctor will review other useful at-home care tips to stay comfortable while your sore throat clears up, even if your infection is not caused by strep throat.
