What is the difference between strep throat and losing your voice?


I have a really bad sore throat and when I stand up I feel dizzy. And I don't really have a runny nose but just a little.

So do I have strep throat or am I losing my voice?

Strep throat is caused by a viral infection, and it is fairly specific. Your symptoms can be for a lot of things, i.e. swollen glands, flu, etc. Losing your voice is caused by abusing it or it may be a symptom. Hope you feel better, be sure to see a doctor!
