How common is it for a person to have strep throat in the summer?
I been feeling sick recently since last thursday and I think I have strep throat. I am going to see my doctor but I was just curious to hear how many people develop strep throat in the summer time? I thought it only happened during the cold season? I know it can spread when another person is coughing near you or if someone close to you has strep throat already.

My daughter came home on Friday and has spent it all weekend sleeping it off with a fever and sore throat. It has been really warm here until the last four days or so, so this may have contributed to it.
She is a good indicator that you can get a sore throat anytime. As to strep throat, she is getting better so yours may be different..
I hope you feel better soon. Get lots of electrolytes and fluids in you. And rest up.

Strep is an infection that can be picked up at any time. It is more common in the winter, when people are indoors more, and it can more easily spread.
