Strep Throat, Viral Sore Throat, Mystery Sore Throat, and Sties
Condition- A strain of the over 50 groups of Streptococcus bacteria residing inside the lymphatic system and tonsils, often surfacing to the top of the throat and made visible by white spots, or not directly visible and experienced as inflammation, redness, and pain. Some of the time, discovered with a swab of the throat at your doctor's office, although many times undetectable. One or more of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus can also cause chronic, on-off, mystery sore throats. Someone in this case will often exhibit a little patch of redness on each side of the throat, occasionally accompanied by a sharp pain when swallowing. This type of sore throat is impossible to diagnose at the doctor's office because a throat culture won't show strep, nor will it usually be diagnosed as mono, since EBV can live out of reach of current medical testing.
