Hey Lindozone,
I don't know if it is strep or not but I woke up yesterday and my right gland is swollen and it has effected my right jaw, right ear, behind ear on head and my throat.
It's not a sore throat and only hurts as if the muscle is pulled to...
so even though it sounds different it also sounds the same...
I am sorry you have your sore throat and I hope it gets better sooner than later obviously

.
Get well and drink liquids... sorry to be no help other than here's
a group hug
I hope you get feel better soon.... ThaCrew
