Symptoms include a suddenly severe sore throat, pain during swallowing, high fever, white and yellow spots on a bright red throat, and inflamed tonsils and lymph nodes. Tonsillitis has similar symptoms, and can be caused by the same bacteria as strep, but more often will be caused by a virus.

The symptoms of strep throat are fevers, minor to severe sore throat, a coating of mucus in the back of the throat, weakness and fatigue. Tonsillitis is similar with the strep throat symptoms, however this illness is mainly focused on the tonsils itself.
