What is Strep Throat?
Strep throat (also known as streptococcal pharyngitis) is a bacterial
infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria. It can lead to throat pain,
swollen tonsils, and fever, and can be highly contagious. Most cases resolve
within three to seven days with appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics
when clinically indicated. Effective strep throat treatment can relieve
symptoms and prevent possible complications like kidney inflammation or
rheumatic fever.
Our online doctors assess strep throat symptoms, provide a medical history review,
and prescribe antibiotic treatment if appropriate.
If you are experiencing strep throat symptoms, schedule an online doctor appointment
today for a comprehensive medical evaluation.

Can strep throat be treated online?
Strep throat can sometimes be evaluated and treated through telemedicine based on symptoms and medical history. While a rapid strep test requires an in-person throat swab for confirmation, our online providers can assess your condition, recommend appropriate next steps, and, if clinically indicated, prescribe antibiotics or refer you for further testing.
