Thread: Strep throat in the summer?

    Strep throat in the summer?



    Woke up this morning, couldn't swallow anything or hardly talk. First time I swallowed some water, wasnt too bad. Figured id lay back down a little while before work, when I woke up and my throat was in extreme pain, almost couldnt breath. Went to the ER, swabbed me and concluded I had strep throat. I've never heard of this type of shit in the middle of the summer, wtf? I've never had strep throat in my life, and damn I can't wait for this shit to go away. Gave me some good antibiotics though.

    Anyone else catch this crap in the summer time? Seemed odd to me.

    Up at Jefferson Hospital apparently there was someone else who had it, or something of that nature. Nurse said "we have another throat patient, take him back when you take the other one". I thought then it was going to be ugly. Hope you don't have strep man! wouldn't wish it on anyone, really sucks.

    So they gave you a neck brace and a beer for strep throat?

    Strep is a bacteria which can happen all year round. Its less common at this time of year but it can and does happen.

    Ugh, Matt. How lucky can you get - your first strep infection AND in the summer. Woohoo?
    Maybe go for that neck brace and beer.
    Feel better.
