What if it's more than strep throat?
A sore throat doesn't always mean strep. Could be viral. Could be something else. Our system screens for what's actually going on. If it's strep, we'll prescribe. If it's viral, antibiotics won't help - and we'll tell you that.
Note: If your case is unclear, we may recommend a rapid strep test at a local clinic
If it's something more serious, we'll send you to the right care.
