What is Strep Throat?
Strep throat is a highly contagious infection caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria, leading to a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. It spreads easily through respiratory droplets, close contact, or through direct contact with contaminated surfaces.
How Contagious is Strep Throat?
Strep throat is highly contagious, especially in close-contact settings like schools or households. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as rheumatic fever or kidney inflammation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the spread and ensure a quick recovery.
