i have a sore throat o left side now off and on for a few weeks... no fever, sometimes dizzy..like right now. Doesn t hurt when swallowing. No Cough or blood or anything like that. I did, about a month ago, have a flu/sore throat sickness that I caught from my son. Strep was goig around his school at the time. But the fever went away in 24 hrs. Took antibiotics for a few days, that seemed to help
