A sore throat can be a symptom of many illnesses, including mild viral infections, the common cold, or even allergies. However, a severe, persistent sore throat may be a sign of strep throat—an infection caused by A streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat is contagious and won’t resolve independently; it must be treated by medical professionals. If you believe you have strep throat, the team at Affinity Urgent Care can help. We provide strep throat treatment for individuals in Texas City, Texas, on a walk-in basis for prompt symptom relief.
Strep throat presents with a sudden, severe sore throat lasting longer than 48 hours. The sore throat resulting from strep throat makes it painful and difficult to swallow. Strep throat can also cause the following:
If you experience any of the above symptoms, it’s essential to visit a professional for treatment. Leaving strep throat untreated can lead to complications, and the infection can continue to spread to the tonsils, ears, and sinuses.

If your test is positive, we will recommend the proper course of antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria causing the infection.
