I've had strep before and I'm afraid I'll have it again... What do you think?

Hello Ma'am,

It's pretty simple to find out if one should visit right now to get tested for strep. All one has to do is calculate the modified Centor score from page 2 of the following document: https://www.inesss.qc.ca/fileadmin/doc/CDM/UsageOptimal/Guides-serieI/Guide-PharyngiteAmygdalite.pdf?sword_list%5B0%5D=pharyngite&no_cache=1.

If your score is 3 or higher, one should see a doctor. Otherwise, avoid acidic, overly irritating foods, rest and take Tylenol™ for pain.

Happy evening :)
