The symptoms of streptococcal infections can vary depending on the type of infection. Common symptoms include:
- Strep throat: Sore throat, fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, and red or white patches in the throat. - Scarlet fever: Red rash that feels like sandpaper, high fever, and a strawberry-like appearance of the tongue. - Impetigo: Red sores or blisters that rupture, ooze, and form a honey-colored crust. - Invasive streptococcal infections: High fever, severe pain, dizziness, and in severe cases, shock.
