in an adult it is not necessary to mount a fever response to strep. some people do; most people do not. so you can still have strep. you were certainly exposed assuming your son was correctly diagnosed. any chance you can get a strep test? some clinicians will just treat symptomatic parental contacts but that would be totally up to the discretion of the clinician.
can i have strep without fever? . my 4 year old son was diagnosed with strep throat 3 days ago. last night i was fine one minute and suddenly felt like i'd been hit by a ton of bricks. body aches headache . sore throat and general feeling crappy! but no fever. is there any point in dragging myself out to doctor when i feel so miserable? is it possible to have strep without fever? (i do not have any runny nose stuffy nose or cough. not a cold! )
