infection
The streptococci bacteria that cause strep throat spread in coughs and sneezes. If a sick person coughs or sneezes near you, you can breathe in some of the bacteria that cause the illness. You can also pick up the bacteria by touching something that a sick person has touched.

symptoms
You may begin to feel sick about three days after streptococci bacteria enter your body. Symptoms (signs of sickness) include a sore throat and fever. If left untreated, strep throat can sometimes cause rheumatic fever, a serious illness that can hurt your heart.

diagnosis and treatment
In the laboratory, a scientist views the germs on the cotton swab under a microscope. If streptococci bacteria are found, the results are sent back to the doctor. Usually a doctor will give you antibiotics (special drugs that kill bacteria). You should begin to feel better in about a week.
